Bioware joins the Hacking victims

Quote :

Yesterday (June 14), we learned that a hacker gained unauthorized access to the decade-old BioWare community server system associated with the Neverwinter Nights forums. We immediately took appropriate steps to protect our consumers' data and launched an ongoing evaluation of the seriousness of the breach. We have determined that no credit card data was compromised, nor did we ever have or store sensitive data like social security numbers. However hackers may have obtained information such as user account names and passwords, email addresses, and birth dates of approximately 18,000 accounts—a very small percentage of total users. We have emailed those whose accounts may have been compromised and either disabled their accounts or reset their EA Account passwords. If you did not receive an email from us, or if your password still works for your EA account, your username and password were not compromised. Nevertheless, changing your password regularly is always helpful to protect your account.

We take the security of your information very seriously and regret any inconvenience this may have caused you. If your username, email address and/or password on the Neverwinter Nights forums are similar to those you use on other sites, we recommend changing your password at those sites as well. We advise all of our fans to always be aware of any suspicious emails or account activity and report any suspicious emails and account activity to Customer Support at 1-866-543-5435.

Too fucking far...

EDIT: Sadly this had to be my 2000th post XD

Eventually all the devs will unite to counter hack them. It's only a matter of time when we see even friggen Activision and EA working together to take down the hackers.

Okay, this is getting out of control...

Imagine imagine

Retards.

Thank God I've never used a credit card with the e-mail addresses I use for forums and such. These hackers are nothing but thieves. Dirty, rotten scumbags.

Called It.

Ok now they have crossed the line, but it will be funny to see that people wont bitch at BioWare for having outdated security but will glady pile the hate onto Sony...

Bioware doesn't host an online service now do they?

Lol that just proved Reapers point
It doesnt matter if your security is outdated or not, no1 is 100% secure.
And when they hack you, you are the bitch, no matter if you are at fault.
the only one i really blame are the hackers. Could someone pls arrest them?

You're right. They run an insecure database

I don't speak for everyone, but the reason why I was mad at Sony getting hacked was because it directly affected my game experience. Bioware getting hacked doesn't mean no more Mass Effect...

Thats fucking stupid.
