Looks like the FM forums are not coming back at all

A source has told Kotaku Australia that the forums of EA’s Melbourne-based studio FireMonkeys were hacked in September 2013. According to the source, the entire forum was infiltrated and taken offline. This hacked data allegedly included 40,000 usernames and passwords.

EA has confirmed to Kotaku that the hack took place.

Our source says that EA elected not to inform users, telling them the forum was being taken down for temporary maintenance. The forums were never restored and remain offline to this day. According to our source, employees at FireMonkeys worked diligently to restore the forums before being told by certain EA representatives to keep the site offline and not inform the community of the hack.

Well, hope you guys didn't reuse the passwords you used there. If you do, change 'em quick. I'm in the clear due to my password there being the one-time product of a password generator, but are you?

Edit: Thanks Zermalmer!
