The servers hosting phpbb.com and phpbbhelp.org have been compromised.
I have received an email from Yuriy Rusko containing a list of known accounts where the plain text password has been harvested by a keylogger but the perpetrator may well have accessed the complete database of both sites.
I have just changed my password here as it was the same one that I used on phpbbhelp.org (bad practice I know).
It might be prudent if you have used the passwords to either phpbb.com or phpbbhelp.org elsewhere to do as I have just done.

A keylogger was added to the login page, and if your username is on the following list, the plaintext password you used on phpbbhelp.org is likely in their hands.
