The BLF has went under maintenance mode for a few hours and is now back up. Seems like Badspot somehow fixed the issue.

They can't hijack the hulkster.
Last time I got hijacked, the plane went straight into the twin towers.

Can someone trace the IPs that have been posted and "do something" about them?

So I don't exactly know what's going on.  The attacks appear to be opportunistic, getting they accounts they can.  If there were a vulnerability to account login they would just login to my account or rotondo's and forget up everything.

What I've done is forced on https, deleted all existing sessions/cookies, and updated a few of the smf session hashing functions and seed values.  This would mitigate some types of session hijacking, if that's what was happening. 

The most likely answer is probably phishing.  It's happened multiple times before, with some huge body counts.  It's not always as obvious as "enter your key for blockland gold".

That wouldn't make any sense considering one of the users compromised hadn't logged on for over 5 years. Why would they come on just to log in and get phished at the same time as all these other old users?

to add onto this:

that's the advertisement displayed on the front page, that collapse carrot image should probably be https://
