Codemasters and Epic Games Hacked

On June 11, 2011 By Alex

Following the fiasco by Sony’s PSN Codemasters and Epic Games servers are hacked, having their customer data exposed to the world on June 10 and 8, 2011, respectively.

In the email, Codemasters had advised everyone to change their passwords. How effective will this be is questionable though, since the hackers have detailed info (most sites require the same personal data to change the passwords, or send an email with the ‘forget password’ option). Codemasters brought down their site on maintenance in an attempt to beef up their security, for fear that the hackers might be able to get in again.
