Ubisoft Hacked, Account Data Compromised 138
Freshly Exhumed writes "There's a new security breach announcement over at the website of game publisher and developer Ubisoft today. Quoting:: 'We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorized access to some of our online systems. We instantly took steps to close off this access, to begin a thorough investigation with relevant authorities, internal and external security experts, and to start restoring the integrity of any compromised systems. During this process, we 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 your debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion. As a result, we are recommending you to change your password by clicking this link.'"

Right, because that's how hacking works. After the bright red meter labeled "Accessing Secret Files From Gibson" filled up, they could have just pressed the glowing green button that said "Kill The DRM System". How silly of them to have missed that.
