You really don’t need much more than the headline, do you? Yep, BioWareis the latest publisherthat’s had to email its users and let them know that “unauthorized access” has been gained.
The good news is that the hackers got as far as an oldNeverwinter Nightsserver and there was no credit card information to be pilfered. The bad news is that user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, mailing addresses, names, phone numbers, CD keys and birthdays for any accounts on that servers have been compromised.
BioWare has taken preventative measures to stop things getting worse, in what it calls “an abundance of caution.” Legacy accounts have been disabled and users are invited to make a new one.
