I'm sure most of you are aware that there seems to be a rather high number of nations being 'hacked' lately. For those of you who don't regularly check the News, I suggest you do.
First of all: THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACTUAL HACKS. A very unscrupulous player (now DEAT and IP banned, with sterner measures to follow) tricked a very large number of players via offsite forums she was an admin on. Unfortunately, many players used the same password for these offsite forums that they do for their nation, and the aforementioned player exploited a loophole in the Proboards forums to access the passwords of those users.
Secondly: Some steps to take to prevent something like this happening to you.
-NEVER use your nation's password on a forum or other service, especially if it's a forum run by another player
-If you are currently a member of any offsite forum and used your nation password for your forum login, immediately change your nation's password to something totally different
-Make sure your password is not something easy to guess or crack by brute force. A good password is:
-At least 8 characters long
-A mix of numbers, upper and lower case letters, and assorted punctuation.
-Not a word in ANY language·Circuit·Boi·wannabe·

Ceroomaster - I am under the impression that NationStates admins have the power to undelete nations. I have no idea what their time line is on resurrecting nations. Its worth a try.
I will be sending them a note suggesting they do.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
