A break-in on the Epic Games Website is the latest in a rash of data breaches on gaming websites. Here's a note from Epic passed along by Mouser: Our Epic Games web sites and forums were recently hacked. After some downtime, they're back up and running now.
The hackers may have obtained the email addresses and encrypted passwords of forum users. Plaintext passwords weren't revealed, but it's possible that those passwords could be obtained by a brute-force attack on the encrypted passwords. Therefore, we have reset all passwords. Your new password at the bottom of this message.
The Unreal Developer Network (UDN) hasn't been compromised. Thankfully, none of our web sites ask for, or store, credit card information or other financial data.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, and appreciate everyone's patience as we wrestle our servers back under control.
Tim Sweeney
Founder, Epic Games Inc

Right, because pretending that a problem doesn't exist makes it go away. That always works like a charm!
Maybe banks shouldn't use vaults and just keep the money in the lobby! Surely people aren't douche bags and won't just, you know, take it. No, that thought is completely preposterous!
If people aren't taking stuff, there's no problem where it's kept. Love the "blame the victim" logic, by the way... I see a future for you in defending rapists.
Hmm, apparently I defend rapists because I dared to imply that companies have to secure the personal information they store about you on their servers. Brilliant deduction, Mr. Holmes. Because we know for a fact that all crimes are equally severe. Someone who commits genocide should be punished just as much as someone who rapes, someone who hacks into computer systems and someone who shovels the earth from your backyard into buckets and sells it on the flea market. |
