Ubisoft Temporarily Shuts Down uPlay PC Downloads
Following exploit that offers access to unreleased games.
Ubisoft has reacted to a breach of its uPlay DRM and digital distribution service, by disabling the platform entirely until it plugs the gaps that caused Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon to be downloaded early to a bunch of Russian hackers.
If you remember yesterday's gaffe, a number of enterprising Eastern Europeans was able to trick the uPlay service into believing that their accounts were authorised to play the Far Cry 3 spin-off, along with a number of unreleased Ubisoft titles.
"[We are] aware of the issue and are working to resolve it quickly," the publisher told Polygon. "No personal information was compromised. Uplay's PC download service will be unavailable until the problem is fixed however all other Uplay services remain available."
