Our security and IT teams are further reviewing our options (patching wise) in order to restore functionality. The forums presented no issues, but during the review of the website, our security team noticed possible vulnerabilities with the software being used for the forums (phpBB) and it was decided they would take it down to prevent anything from happening. During that move process an older snapshot was used, and some of the updates made during these past days (including build 5.30) were not listed for some hours (this has also been fixed). It has now been moved to a different location, and it is functional. > The site died due to a bug, thus it went down. I am going to go ahead and go question by question, to ensure I didn't miss anything:

I should hope this would be taken to heart. I never trust a program that's YELLING AT ME TO UPDATE RIGHT NOW without an explanation. I don't feel like I trust Sandboxie enough to update right now. Why is everything so vague and diffuse? Why can't we just get answers? Why is the new version being pushed so hard? Particularly when it doesn't seem to fix anything a majority of users need, and updating is a path to losing your license?

Is there a server-side breach that's causing problems with old version of the software? Is there a vulnerability we're not being told about?

Was there a serious breach we aren't hearing about? You owe it to your customers to let them know if you've bungled their data. And NOW it feels like 5.30 is being pushed AGGRESSIVELY to end users, despite the indications that something smells WRONG about this whole situation.

Then the registration servers went haywire. Then the forum was taken down 'out of an abundance of caution' due to an ill-defined security vulnerability.
