Heads up: GAME hacked

[fieldy]

Just a quick heads up for those of us that have GAME accounts for online shopping - their system was hacked and details stolen (as plain text apparently)

Might be worth changing your passwords people!

Probably the same exact person everyone else who has been hacked in the past

So what does this mean?

Card details stolen? Or is it just login information?

The link in post #3 supposedly has a list of the compromised accounts if you want to check for your email.

if the card details were stored in the same db as plain text then yes.

 

[Ringiho]

Cheers for that! Sent it around to a few people as well.

Another nail in GAMEs coffin.

Is there any easier way of checking if i'm on there rather than reading through a wall of e-mails and passwords?
