Yet another website hacked - Epic Games

Just got this email:

Dear <username>,

Our Epic Games web sites and forums were recently hacked. After some downtime, they're back up and running now.

The hackers may have obtained the email addresses and encrypted passwords of forum users. Plaintext passwords weren't revealed, but it's possible that those passwords could be obtained by a brute-force attack on the encrypted passwords. Therefore, we have reset all passwords. Your new password at the bottom of this message.

The Unreal Developer Network (UDN) hasn't been compromised. Thankfully, none of our web sites ask for, or store, credit card information or other financial data.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, and appreciate everyone's patience as we wrestle our servers back under control.

Tim Sweeney
Founder, Epic Games Inc

I guess Valve will be next?

Edit: sorry about the duplicate thread, mods please merge into the other one

I think hackers know better then to attack Valve. The last time someone hacked into Valve and they stole HL2 content and as result they incurred the wrath of the whole community who was tracked down and prosecuted thanks to help from other hackers.

Don't think they would go for Valve they most likely have the best security system.
