Hackers hit online shooter Warframe back in November 2014 and stole 775.749 email adresses from users playing the game at that time. Developer Digital Extreme has revealed the hack now, as they simply have not been aware of it. Passwords, credit card details and real addresses have not been compromised, the developer claims.
"At the time, we believed this to be a phishing scam as our account server was secure. After a thorough review of the data we received, we can confirm that a list of 775,749 email addresses were acquired through a Drupal SQL exploit that was patched by Drupal two weeks after the breach occurred. The stolen data DID NOT include any account passwords, variations of passwords, hashed passwords, game account data or personal player information such as full names, addresses or other billing and payment information. Note that while there were hashes in the stolen data these were meaningless hashes of Alias names."
Digital Extremes still recommends that all Warframe players take the time to review and reset their passwords frequently.
