The hacking spree never seem to end, and now the turn has come to Bioware and EA. In a post on the official Bioware forums, Bioware's Aaryn Flynn writes that a really old server - still associated with the old Neverwinter Nights-forums - has been breached and that around 18,000 accounts might have been stolen. No credit card data or security numbers have been taken, but "user account names and passwords, email addresses, and birth dates" might have fallen into the hackers' hands.
"We have emailed those whose accounts may have been compromised and either disabled their accounts or reset their EA Account passwords. If you did not receive an email from us, or if your password still works for your EA account, your username and password were not compromised. Nevertheless, changing your password regularly is always helpful to protect your account," Flynn writes.
