Freenode IRC security notice

[pauamma]

Passing on the news, for those of you who only connect to Freenode IRC infrequently and may not get the news otherwise:

One of the Freenode servers was compromised and they're recommending all registered users change their nickserv password. To do that, log in to Freenode as you usually do, then type:

/msg nickserv set password yournewpasswordgoeshere

or use the equivalent feature for your favorite IRC client, if it doesn't understand the /msg command.
