A minor exploit in tfa/authentication

[Teddy]

Hola,

Earlier today we detected an exploit in our authentication system which did not pose any risk to security because of a fail safe which shut down the mutli-factor system to prevent any faults in authentication. This prevented a large number of staff who use the legacy two factor system from being able to login in-game. We have narrowed down a cause and have temporarily patched the crashing of the legacy two factor system. The Now system has been unaffected by this outage except the backup codes.

No account data, specifically passwords, have been exposed or released as a result of this. We just wanted to keep a level of transparency and explain why there may have been a lowered number of staff in-game the past few days.

Regards,
Development Team

So admins do need another level of security to login...

Someone protect Teddy! If he dies and the security goes down, we won't have any more admins!

Yes & no; the new system will let them login however if they do not have multi-factor the system will not assign them their administrative rights. So essentially to be an admin, yes; to login no.
