Not sure if anyone has received this today.

We are sending this email to inform you that we have detected an unauthorised access of some of our systems that may have affected your Multiplay account details.

Your Multiplay account does not store any payment details, and as far as we are aware there has been no access of your account information. Although all the passwords we store are encrypted, as an added security measure we recommend you change your Multiplay account password.

CHANGE YOUR MULTIPLAY ACCOUNT PASSWORD

We also recommend you do the same on any external accounts where you use the same or a similar password.

Sincerely,
The Multiplay Team

Doesn't seem to be anything on their site or blog.

Their tech support have said the passwords were stored with salted hash so should be safe but it looks like the same database possibly held details of name, address, phone number & email address.

I received this too.

I notice they make no mention of what has actually happened :(

What happens when Game UK in charge I guess :p

The email they sent seems very vague

Also the fact they haven't posted on their website or blog etc makes it seem like they are trying not to make it too public

Might be something to do with the Game takeover also I guess (the takeover itself seemed strange)
