Update: The problem has been fixed. Carry on!

Mojang have turned off the authentication servers until an exploit in the system can be fixed. This means you can log in to the game but not join servers.

You can read more about this here:

Our server is not offline, but you will not be able to join our server or any other Minecraft servers.
