Potential Security breach at Turbine

It seems there's been a security breach at Turbine's forum. There is little confirmed info at the moment, rumors suggest it might be rather substantial, Turbine so far calls it a potential issue and precaution. However, since forum and game accounts are tightly integrated, I would recommend an 'hope for the best, assume the worst' attitude and change your account password at https://myaccount.turbine.com . For the finer details, we have a thread discussing the issue and there's been some discussion over at the LOTRO-Community forums.

Update: It seems Turbine is following our example and now also recommending to change your passwords!

Recently, we were made aware of an issue with the security of our LOTRO community web applications.  Protecting player accounts is a top priority and we take any potential issues seriously.  As a result, we closed all of our forums as we investigate the situation.  We are continuing to investigate and the forums will not reopen until this work is complete.

As an additional precaution we recommend that all players change their passwords by visiting http://myaccount.turbine.com. Please remember to use unique, hard-to guess passwords that are not associated with other online services or sites, and always look for and report unusual activity in your account to Turbine customer support.
