MBAM didn't email me about this, although others are reporting this also. And I can't access their forum - getting a "service unavailable- try again later".
The link you posted gives the same message. I can access MBAM's website. Just not the forum. Maybe MBAM is in more trouble than they say.

You are probably right, Hernan.
After an hour or two and several tries, the forum is now accessible, and I was able to change my password.

Hi Joe.
I got the e-mail this evening.
It took 3 tries to login to MBAM forum and then 2 more to change my password. I think the servers must be overloaded with everybody doing the change.

1) I received the e-mail as well.
2) It seems I needed to update my bookmarks, which were pointing to specific sub-forums. Upon doing so, I was able to access their forum.
3) FWIW, it shows me as still logged-in... it did not force me to change my PW (yet?).
