Manditory Password Reset
The datacenter that we employed up to November permitted unauthorized access to a database server and our database containing user credentials was likely compromised. Passwords were salted and hashed per user, but to be safe every user MUST change their password when they next log in. Please do so at your earliest opportunity. If your Seals password was used for any other purpose you should reset those passwords too as a precaution.
As a response to this occurrence, a top priority is to further put user’s security into their own
hands beyond offering two-factor authentication. This includes the ability to permanently lock withdrawal address, locking out the transfer feature, and locking out account access except for a set of IPs (at least one of which must be the currently used IP). Expect to see these features in the near future.
Transfers may be disabled for a short period of time. Thank you very much for your understanding and support during this rough time. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or concern this may cause our players.
