    Update: As of 3:07 AM PST the vulnerability is no longer an issue. It has been confirmed that Mojang has patched the vulnerability by Leonard Axelsson. https://twitter.com/xlson/status/224444654421164032

    Mojang has announced a huge security flaw where people can spoof other accounts. Well this caused a huge issue on our servers where people were spoofing our ops and posing as the real people. Right now we are taking action and removing all ops temporally just in case so they cannot cause any grief until Mojang has a patch. Also as of now, all mods with migrated accounts were removed and people banned today were unbanned.

    Please advise, if you own a server, it's a good idea to deop any migrated accounts as its a security issue. If you want to see if your account is vanuable, please click here and type in your username:

    http://www.teamavolition.com/index.php?app=ccs&module=pages&section=pages&folder=&id=7

    (DO NOT TYPE YOUR PASSWORD ON THIS WEBSITE, JUST USERNAMES)

    These people have been annoyingly activating our whitelist and we will keep trying to see what account is doing this. We should be back to normal once Mojang patches this hole.

    Here's an awesome video by BebopVox with all the info on what's going on:

    Woah, that's quite a big flaw. And are migrated accounts the ones where you steal them and change their email and password?

    Weird I got banned really early in the day for something I didn't do and made a dispute but I am still banned, is there a delay? Or I am not being unbanned?

    According to Mojang, no passwords and emails were compromised. They just trick the Auth servers on using your username.

    Will the moderators actually get their moderator status back any time soon if they have a migrated account?
