Replica Prop Forum Hacked!

Just got word that the Replica Prop Forum was hacked.  Here are the details sent to me by one of the moderators:


DO NOT USE WWW.THERPF.COM or THERPF.COM
There is a FAKE SITE at www.therpf.com
They have your password (with a little work), regardless of whether you have logged into the fake site or not. So you need to change your password... AND PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEE www.thereplicapropforum.com in your address bar when you change your password.
We do not know the extent of what they have and don't have, so just assume that they have EVERYTHING (password, email address, saved pm's, etc).
Please just stop using / testing therpf.com at all.

The hacker has now duplicated our Facebook page for the RPF.
Please go to this page and report it to Facebook by scrolling to the bottom and choosing Report Page from the Left hand side. From the Report Screen choose "Duplicate or miscategorized Page", then choose "Duplicate of another Page" from the drop down. Finally, type in "Replica Prop Forum" and our icon should come up.
