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.

In all honesty I've always thought of Chaos as both things.

The more overt warbands roaming the woods of the Empire pillaging and destroying, and the insidious subversion of the Empire by infiltration, subterfuge, assassination, etc.
In the default starting year of 2512, there are no overt warbands of Chaos roaming the Empire, not even in the northeastern provinces. At best, you might have herds of a few dozen beastmen. The hostile armies of Chaos don't start showing up to battle the Empire again (there was a previous war against them 200 years earleir)  for a few more decades.

Interesting, since the timeline explicitly says:

"The World as it is today. Exploration continues, and the incursions of Chaos are becoming active once more."

Greetings!

Indeed. According to the WHFR lore--of 1E--within the Empire, and the borders of the civilized realms, such as Bretonnia, Estalia, Tilea, and such--bands of cultists, crazed Necromancers and Wizards, insane doctor and alchemists, as well as your assortment of ruthless brigands and mercenaries, are generally the norm. However, within the local forests, marshes, and mountains there are occasional warbands of Beastmen, and Chaos Warriors. Out on the more distant frontiers, however, larger warbands and whole tribes of Beastmen are to be found, with more Chaos Warriors, and terrifying Chaos Sorcerers.

And always, the power of Chaos and the Dark Gods grows! Lurking beyond the horizons, just beyond the sight of normal men, the armies of Chaos gather in their might, gibbering and baying for the blood of the mortal races!

Semper Fidelis,

In 2512, most Chaos warbands are still fighting one another. The big end times push against Kislev and the Empire is still decades away. Up until that happens, many in the civilized nations doubt Chaos is about to return (not unlike the return of Sauron in LotR), which doesn't really make sense if they are constantly warring with them.
