Codemasters server hacked!

It looks like game publishers need to renew their security measures. Several publishers have been dealing with hackers lately and Codemasters has just announced that their web servers have been compromised. Read on for details.

Another day and another Game Company is hacked. This time the victim is Codemasters. 

Official announcement from Codemasters:

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 are all believed to have been compromised.

Whilst we do not have confirmation that any of this data was actually downloaded onto an external device, we have to assume that, as access was gained, all of these details were compromised and/or stolen.

The Codemasters.com website will remain offline for the foreseeable future with all Codemasters.com traffic re-directed to the Codemasters Facebook page instead. A new website will launch later in the year.
