NVIDIA Developer Zone shut down, may have been hacked

Bad news from the land of Tegra. NVIDIA has shut down its Developer Zone forums after noticing what it calls "attacks on the site by unauthorized third parties." While the nature of the attacks isn't clear, what's troubling is that these attackers "may have gained access to hashed passwords." Users are of course encouraged to change their secret codes and, with all the hackery going on lately, we might recommend you just go ahead and change them all -- just in case.
