Hello, I've got some important news I need to share with you.

Following reports (like this one: http://politicsandwar.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2856-atlas-horizons-admin-poaching-members-and-stealing-passwords/) it's become necessary that I make an announcement. Apparently there has been a password breach at Atlas Horizons (another nation simulation game that is NOT in any way affiliated with Politics & War). If you have never signed up for an Atlas Horizons count, this post does not affect you.

If you have made an Atlas Horizons account however, it is possible that someone else has access to the password you used on that site. If you use the same password across multiple sites (highly discouraged) your other accounts may be at risk. Most important is that some P&W players that also played Atlas Horizons have had their accounts accessed, passwords changed, etc. If you haven't already, now is a great time to change your P&W password to something unique.

We will continue to move forward with our investigation, finding out more about who is behind these acts and reporting them to the authorities. In the meantime, it's important that you understand that the Politics & War database is secure, has not been breached, and your passwords and account information on this website has not been accessed by anyone but you.

Thank you.
