As reported on Eurogamer earlier today, Codemaster’s have sent an email to customers, explaining that the security of their suite of sites has been well and truly hacked. Last Friday seemed carefree and fun right? Chances are you were getting compromised, son.
Codemasters have spent the days since the intrusion conducting a “thorough investigation in order to ascertain the extent and scope of the breach.” Turns out the breach had a pretty wide scope.
If you’ve ever used the Codemasters Estore, there’s a chance your name, address, email, telephone number, encrypted passwords and order history might have been compromised. Customers who have used the Codemaster’s CodeM database might have had their member names, username, screen name, email address, date of birth, encrypted password, newsletter preferences, biographies, details of last site activity, IP addresses and Xbox Live Gamertag leaked. Phew. Codemasters recommend you change all passwords associated with your accounts, and be especially wise to incoming scams.
Codemasters.com will remain offline for the foreseeable future and all Codemasters.com traffic will be redirected to the Facebook page. The devs also mention that “Whilst we do not have confirmation that any of this data was actually downloaded onto an external device, we have to assume that, as access was gained, all of these details were compromised and/or stolen.”
According to the email currently getting sent out: “Codemasters is the latest victim in on-going targeted attacks against numerous game companies. We assure you that we are doing everything within our legal means to track down the perpetrators and take action to the full extent of the law. We apologise for this incident and regret any inconvenience caused.”
