Bethesda, publisher of many great games including Fallout 3 and Brink, is the latest company in our industry to suffer an apparent Lulzsec hack attack.
We reported yesterday that the hacking group was threatening an attack. It now appears to have happened.
Bethesda has issued the following statement on its age-gated blog:
"Over the past weekend, a hacker group attempted an unlawful intrusion of our websites to gain access to data. We believe we have taken appropriate action to protect our data against these attacks.
"While no personal financial information or credit card data was obtained, the hackers may have gained access to some user names, email addresses, and/or passwords.
"As a precaution, we recommend that all our fans immediately change passwords on all our sites — including our community forums, statistics site for Brink, and here on the blog."
More details at Bethesda.

Boy, when he/they get caught I hope they go away for a long time enjoying the benefits of prison man-love.
