Ubisoft Hacked: Uplay Users Should Change Passwords
Encrypted passwords and email addresses were accessed.
Ubisoft has warned gamers to reset their passwords on any Uplay accounts they may have, as a hack on the publisher's website allowed unauthorised access to the online network's database.
Personal information has been obtained by the compromise, but no payment data was reportedly collected. According to a statement from Ubisoft, "We have learned that data were illegally accessed from our account database, including user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords.
"No personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, meaning debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion. Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending all our users change their passwords. We sincerely apologise to them for any inconvenience."
