ARAS stated that it had fully recovered from an internal attack on Realms+ carried out by a rogue staff member months earlier and had since tightened its internal permissions and staff screening procedures. The article also said ARAS was working on Realms+ v4, which is planned to include major new features such as scheduled backups, realm upload/download tools, crash protection, and an advertising system.
After a recent setback, ARAS (All Realms Are Safe) has reported a full recovery and has implemented stricter safeguards. Realms+ (The realm management bot owned and operated by ARAS) fell victim of an internal attack orchestrated by a rogue staff member roughly 4 months ago.
According to the ARAS Team, both the bot and the server now use a much stricter permissions system, meaning staff only receive certain roles if it is essential. Additional measures, such as background checks are also being applied to all new staff applications to ensure staff suitability.
We have noted that community members are praising the quick recovery alongside the transparency of the situation.
MCBE News reached out to Nova Ghoul UID: 907712767644020787 to share some light on the recent events as-well to explain what's going to change. Shortly after we contacted Nova, we received this response:

Under my administration there has been nothing but progress in ARAS. The problems we had before were caused by people we should've been able to trust, mainly the Founder of our movement. We never suspected that he'd go rogue as the entire thing only existed because of him, but that's a basic summary of what happened during the summer.

There are no security issues with Realms+ and never have been, nothing would've happened if an old backup server wasn't leaked by Point.
-
v4 development is going well and will have features such as:
-
Scheduled Realm Backups
-
Realm Download/Upload
-
Anti Freeze/Crash + Auto Restart
-
Partnering/Advertising System
-
"Essentials" style addon
-
and many more in the works"
