Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Can anyone recommend a product that has a bunch of set-piece challenges that I can re-skin for dungeon adventures, such as encounters (e.g., meetup with rival adventuring party), skill / player challenges (the room you need to get across has a fissure and is partially flooded).

I've only skimmed it, so hopefully someone else can give a more detailed opinion. I just like the hallway trap idea where it's a spiral hallway with all the traps already sprung. The adventurers get to the center, and all the traps reset. :D
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

You should check out Kellri's CDD#4 Encounters Reference @ http://kellri.blogspot.com/ (right-nav in the Downloads links).  Well-worth your time to download and print!

How detailed a list are you looking for? There are literally hundreds of products around. I think Goodman Games has a collection called The Mother Of All Encounter Tables, which might fit your bill. Grimtooth's Traps is similar but focused on the traps.
