Hello Folks,
As you know Tip.It and Forum.Tip.It have been down most of October 11 and continues to be down. Tip.It's servers were unfortunately hacked and the only way to ensure user security and regain control of our servers was to shut down the servers until we can be completely confident that they are safe again.
As a result, it is likely that segments of our user database were dumped and are now in the hands of other people to use against your RuneScape account or other online accounts. The stolen data may or may not include usernames, password hashes, email addresses, IP addresses and any other information you may have provided on the Tip.It Forums. Please note that your forum password was absolutely NOT stored in plain text - all passwords on our forums are encrypted and will require brute forcing from the hackers in order to render them usable. Regardless, we are assuming the worst and recommending you take action now to ensure your accounts are all secure.
It is highly recommended to ensure that your password and email address used on Tip.It are NOT used ANYWHERE else on the internet, especially on your RuneScape account. If you use the same password and/or email address on your RuneScape account, it is HIGHLY likely that your account will be compromised sooner or later. Don't take the risk - use a UNIQUE password and email address on your RuneScape account to insure maximum security.
We also highly recommend you beef up the security on your email address. Often times hackers can gain access to your email and wreak havoc by accessing any accounts tied into that particular email. A few tips to ensure email account safety:
-Don't be sloppy on your recoveries - make them as difficult to crack as your password. Random numbers, letters and symbols with mixed cases works beautifully!
-Delete old emails you have no need to keep - the less information stored in your email the better!
-Use two-step verification with your mobile device wherever possible - this is powerful tool to keep unauthorized people out of your email!
As of now, approximately 0230 GMT on October 12, 2011, and for several hours prior to this, all Tip.It's servers are entirely under the control of the Tip.It administration. Every effort is being made by the administration to restore normal service as soon as possible.
Lastly, all rumours surrounding Tip.It Administrators' involvement in child pornography are entirely FALSE and are exactly that - RUMOURS. No staff members at Tip.It are involved in the creation or distribution of child pornography nor is there pornography of any kind on Tip.It servers. These are simply rumours created to cause controversy in the community - and it has worked. Again, these allegations are ENTIRELY FALSE.
This is all the information available at this point. We will do our best to continue to update the community as much as possible through these difficult times. We appreciate your support during this rough time and we apologize for the inconvenience that this downtime causes to your game play.
Respectfully yours,
Tip.It Administrative Team

heya friends!
So.. the niqaz here trollin' along the tip.it sidewalk when we hear some rumours about a tip.it box seeding childporn..
Immediately this grabs our attention due to the fact we're all huge humanitarians and really care about kids.
We start an investigation into this.
During our investigation we find out silverion and associates ALSO abuse all types of kids and users into buying their site merchandise and..
They make over 2K USD a day doing so, selling shirts, cups, and what not, including ads.
So, we decide that we have to hack tip.it as we start to find growing evidence of such horrible activity
and sure enough, after about one week of doing our magic we get in.
THERE IN THE /home/ FOLDER.. NEED I EVEN SAY WHAT WE FOUND? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SILVERION IS FUCKING SICK.
The only thing to do now is to force-close tip.it.
To all the children who may have been approached sexually by silverion or other admins.
Please contact the police or go see a shrink as we have some logs of this happening, but will not be posting.
Truly a horrible thing to find.
Now how about them jagex mods getting hacked? uh oh I think we might be responsible!!
