Last night, while investigating lag occurring across all IRE games, we discovered a database vulnerability in the gamefeed processing on the games' websites, which was being actively used by an attacker. As the security of customer data is of primary concern, we disabled the gamefeed functionality across all games while working to resolve the issue. We have now fixed the problem and reenabled the gamefeed - thank you all for your patience!

We are still investigating the full impact of the vulnerability, though it is mostly a formality at this point: we are confident that no customer data was accessed. It appears to have been a blind attack that didn't get beyond the initial stage, so no critical information was accessed whatsoever.

Special thanks to Razmael of Aetolia for identifying the initial impact, and our very own Phaestus and Eoghan of Imperian for identifying the problem and creating a solution.
