:The xkcd forums are currently offline. We've been alerted that portions of the PHPBB user table from our forums showed up in a leaked data collection. The data includes usernames, email addresses, salted, hashed passwords, and in some cases an IP address from the time of registration.

:We’ve taken the forums offline until we can go over them and make sure they're secure. If you're an echochamber.me/xkcd forums user, you should immediately change your password for any other accounts on which you used the same or a similar password.

This stayed like this until [when?]. That is the last saved version in the archive. The page seems to have been completely deleted after that, so there is no longer anything to save.

Several [[Links#2022-01-31|other changes]] happened to the links on [when was it removed?].
