Yup just got an e-mail advising me to change the password.

5punk3monk3y · 2 Jul 2013 at 17:54

Worst thing is they advise that any other site you have used the same email address and password with you should change also.

Ah great.

brb changing the password to 17 sites...

To be fair at least they've came forward roughly when they spotted it, but in truth it was probably compromised months ago.

Remember at a recent conference one of the trustwave chaps saying that it was 210 days before most organisations spotted a breach.

Ahh, and there was me thinking the email was a phish.

Or isn't it..?
That link's down.
Edit. Back up again!

Can't remember what my password is.

Tried recovering my password and get the following: "No account was found matching those entries. No email will be sent." :confused:

So is this just uplay or is the ubi shop the same thing? I've not had an email yet :confused:

tribz · 2 Jul 2013 at 19:08

Not again, getting a bit embarrassing for them now.

19 for me. :mad:

I think the only reason Ubisoft have any email/password is their own DRM associated with anno2070. Potentially they have it for other reasons, I can't think why.
Annoying. Haven't played that game in a rather long time.

I wonder are they hit with the same exploit that PS and Sony got hit with half a century ago, and only realising it now?

KnightStalker · 2 Jul 2013 at 19:20

According to them, the passwords were encrypted, so in thoery useless right?

Neil79 · 2 Jul 2013 at 19:20

I have too many user/passworded sites, hard to remember what pass is what. I'll take that risk, anything sus and I'll change fast!

Depends how they were encrypted to be fair.
