Last month a web server at ARRL Headquarters was breached by an unknown
party. ARRL IT Manager Mike Keane, said that League members have no reason
to be concerned about sensitive personal information being leaked, and
assures members that there’s nothing of financial value on the compromised
server.
Some ARRL servers were taken offline and isolated from the Internet when
the hack was discovered. Some web functions were temporarily disabled. The
ARRL expects to restore service by close of business, on Wednesday,

ARRL’s Mike Keane stressed that it is highly unlikely that any sensitive
information was compromised. Any information the hacker might have been
able to glean from the ARRL server, he said, is already publicly available

database.
The hacker may have been able to obtain site usernames and passwords that
were established prior to April 2010, and that have not been changed since
then. ARRL members who have not changed their ARRL website passwords since
early 2010 should do so at this as soon as possible.
