"As a part of usual security practices, we recently became aware that some personal information may have been compromised due to a security incident. We immediately launched an investigation into the incident and can assure you that no financial information was accessed", so says World of Tanks parent Wargaming before something v strange happened.
What happened was that instead of asking people to change their passwords to protect their own interests...
What happened was that well, Wargaming launched a “Change Your Password event" during which "every player that changes their password will receive 300for their account."
Erm... let's look at the breach again, "we believe that some password hashes and email addresses were affected by the compromise. The security of your account is very important to us at Wargaming. As a precaution, we are launching a global campaign to increase the security of your account. Please reset your Wargaming ID account password using the account management page straight away."
Actual details were impacted and this was turned into an Event. Check it out.
