We had an issue this morning where, I think, the Leatherneck Nation site was hacked. My own password was changed and I was unable to reset it for a while. I was eventually able to get my own account fixed (obviously), but I'd highly recommend that everyone reset your password for this site as soon as possible.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help resetting your password.

Click on your username in the top right of the screen, and select "User Control Panel".

Go to the "Profile" Tab, then "Edit Account Settings".

Put in a new password for "New Password" and the same thing for "Confirm Password", then put your current password in "Current Password" and press Submit.

I'd also recommend using some kind of password management program/app to store your password(s). It makes it much easier to manage having many different passwords that are long and secure.
