Today (Jan 21st, 2012) our hosting provider was attacked and all ssh/(s)ftp passwords were compromised... Now our passwords have been changed and are safe now, however there is now a concern for us that it could happen again. No matter who we are hosted with. So, I propose a kill switch that we can use which turns off game play, notifies users of the breach, backs up our database to the machine that made the kill request, and then purges our live database of all sensitive information.

This should be easy enough to write, however I would love to know if you think it is a little drastic or if it does not go far enough.
