Ubisoft Hacked, Account Info Accessed

If you have a Ubisoft account, you might want to read this. Thanks to everyone that sent this one in. 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 debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion. Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending all our users change their passwords. We sincerely apologize to them for any inconvenience. Additional information is available here.
