Codemasters' Website Hacked

Posted by Soulskill on from the when-in-rome dept.

skybon writes "After similar attacks on Sony and Square Enix, Codemasters' website has now been hacked as well. The intrusion took place on 3 June, and is believed to have compromised members' names, usernames, screen names, email addresses, date of birth, encrypted passwords, newsletter preferences, any biographies entered by users, details of last site activity, IP addresses and Xbox Live Gamertags. In a letter sent out to CodeM subscribers, the company recommended changing passwords as soon as possible."

    Hey, you're not allowed to hack companies who aren't flagrantly, explicitly evil! It's almost like you're hacking companies whose security is weak, rather than acting as moral crusaders. How could that be?
