Popular Excel website MrExcel has been attacked by a hacker that has managed to download hashed passwords from the forum. Fellow MVP and Mr Excel himself, Bill Jelen, has personally asked that all users change their passwords immediately. An email has been sent to all users to this end, but he believes many users might see this as a phishing scam when it is actually a legitimate request.

Bill has asked that if you use twitter, would you consider retweeting this message.

We wish Bill all the best in sealing this breach.
