Game publisher Ubisoft was breached and unauthorized parties accessed customers usernames, e-mail addresses and hashed passwords. Ubisoft urges all account owners to change their passwords at once. The French firm emailed its customers, informing them that credentials were stolen and used to illegally access our online network giving unauthorized people access to users accounts. No further details on the attack were given. Currently all compromised systems are closed off and the company is working to restore them. According to the email, no financial information was reached since Ubisoft has a payment processing company handle money-related data. Please note that no personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, meaning your debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion (English)
