Evidently someone successfully attacked FreeNode this weekend and while 
the staff have regained control and all is well they suggest that 
people change their nickserv password.

I concur with this suggestion - change your nickserv password as soon 
as you can

Here is a full log of the Q&A session talking about the attack:
