Default Site hacked?

I recently got several requests to re-enter my username and password. After a bit, I wondered if RCU had been hit by a hack that was putting up a phishing query. I tried to go in to change my password, but can't do it. I cannot change password, name, address, or phone number, but all other stuff OK. Is that an RCU thing or has the site been hacked to prevent users from changing that info.

Thanks,

we were not hacked.  when did this start?  we spun up a new server which could be having some issues.  can you go to the magazine section, scroll down and check what server you are on when this happens...rcu4 is what we are looking for

This happened this morning, after I'd been on for a while. Now all is running OK, and I can get into the areas I couldn't before. I've not gotten the message about having to re-sign in.

If it happens again check your server id and let me know. this could have to do with lost sessions on the new server in our cluster.  I'll keep an eye out for reports similar to yours
