First, we my deeply apologise for the recent downtime we have suffered. We
are sorry for any inconvenience this down time may have caused any of our
members. Emergency maintenance was needed in order to close newly found
security holes on our website. Here in The IMVU Mafias, we take the issue
of security extremely seriously in order to protect all of our dear family
members.

During this maintenance, 12 days worth of database changes were lost. If
you have sent anyone on our site a message within the past 12 days, you
will need to resend your message. Again, we are sorry, but our database was
corrupted and our last non-corrupted database backup was 48 hours ago.

Right before the downtime, our mail server was hijacked through a security
hole which has now been patched / closed thanks to the constant efforts of
our mad scientists. Several emails were sent out from our site over the
past 48 hours. Ignore these emails. The h4c|<7r sent out several emails
containing links to a phishing website advertising IMVU cheats / h4c|<s that
try to steal your password. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may
have caused you; we are doing out best to make sure this never happens
again.

New Security Feature On Our Site:
:star: seperate user-names and login-names which can be changed from your user account panel
