There is a mysql/windows worm going around. I know this is the platform used for NS, but don't know if the admins are aware yet. It was just posted on slashdot. More info:

Might be causing some of the problems with the site.

    The Worm is not causeing problems with the site. I can assure you that as long as I've been a Play Tester (about two years) all the passwords use letter number combos, and would not be open to attack by from a worm that cycles though common passwords. secondly this worm only works on Windows based servers.

    The site is secure rest assured.
