codemasters hacked

[lupi]

Just got an email from codemasters saying they've had a hack incident. Mentioned something along the lines of bunch of your private account info taken but no payment data was.

Now I just have to remember what dealings I've had with codemasters.

Got the same email. Only had a LoTRO account.

Got the same email. Only had a LoTRO account.

Likewise.

That's what I was thinking when trying to figure out which service it was.


Now I'm going to have to try and remember my login for that though...so I can change it.

I only have GRID and there was no online account involved.

Got the same email. Only had a LoTRO account.

Isn't LoTRO Turbine and not Codemasters?

I got the email too, I had an account for an MMO with them that has long since died (RF Online)

Codemasters did the EU distribution of LOTRO. Turbine has since taken it over from them.

Are we going back to the age of brigands stealing money from trains, only in digital form?

I think it's time for companies step up to the plate and offer some form of free 3rd party authentication system [RSA SecurID software, cell phone text message, etc]. This is getting to be ridiculous...

I got an email about Epic forums being hacked.

Didn't know that, thanks

citibank lost 200000 customer private info to hackers recently too. enjoy the internet while you can, because i think theres going to be sweeping changes soon and everything we do will be a lot more tedious.

Lot of hacking in the news lately. No venue is safe it seems. Time to go back to cash and pre-Internet days

Internet revolution is happening, time to burn computers on a global scale and live again as it was before it was invented. Ah, such is life, we have to adapt!

What ever you do not respond via that email they've sent. Instead go directly to their site or call them up.

Whoever hacked Codemasters & Epic have mucked up their ABC's. They should have started with Activision-Blizzard before moving onto C etc.
