  1. Something/someone was overloading Tommy earlier. It looks like it was a DoS attack, which isn't terribly uncommon...we sometimes get hit with these, usually as retaliation for things like banning someone's phishing site. If it were internal (software malfunction or abusive user), they'd end up suspended, typically within a few minutes. The fact it lasted for hours alone suggests external causes. That's backed up by Tommy's firewall log having a ton of new blocked IPs from China today... Notice all the orange and red betwen 1500 and 2000 UTC): http://heliohost.grd.net.pl/monitor/ During such events, it's not uncommon for connections to fail or for things to randomly hang or crash. If you're logging in using our website, an Invalid Password message will be display if the server is down and cannot be contacted to verify your password (it really should be modified to report that the server timed out verifying the password). The event in question has since subsided and service should have returned to normal. If your account is still not working, please let us know and we'll get it going again for you
