I got what looks like an automated e-mail from the site saying my account has been breached and gives some dates. The thing that is fishy to me is the site wasn't up then. Is it legit? Here is a screen shot of the e-mail.

Several people have gotten one of those. It's not related to this site.
 
It just means that your usensme or email are on a list saying you had registered on a site that was compromised. Since too many use the same password across multiple sites, it's a heads up that the one password they use has been breeched.

@noway2 explaines it. It's the security letting you know there was a breach on another site, not cff. Might want to change all passwords. Many sites use dragonbyte.
 
The only sites I use this password on are this site and that old canadia site. If they want my info here go for it. I've got no money, no friends, and bad credit. The only thing I have going for me is a hot wife and cute kid.
 
billyh, I'm thinking the email IS the scam. Wanting you to hit the "change your password" link.....

Best thing you can do is delete the email.

In which case don't ever click the link but instead go to the sites directly and change your password. Email headers have gotten a lot harder to spoof with regards to the originator, but links can be spoofed with Unicode meaning even if they look legit when you hover over them, they may not be.
 
I got one of those emails a few weeks ago. I thought is was from CFF. I deleted the email and came here to change my password.
 
Got one of these in the last couple of days. Deleted it without opening it.
