Dirt Publisher Codemasters Suffers Major Hack Attack, Personal Data Exposed

U.K.-based publisher video game Codemasters e-mailed its customers today to tell them that the publisher suffered a major online security breach one week ago.

The breach has exposed gamers' personal information, though Codemasters, the publisher of the recent Dirt 3 and Operation Flashpoint: Red River says payment information was not obtained.

"Unfortunately, Codemasters is the latest victim in on-going targeted attacks against numerous game companies," the company said in an e-mail to customers today. "We assure you that we are doing everything within our legal means to track down the perpetrators and take action to the full extent of the law."

I know right?

And Nintendo knew three weeks before saying anything.

This is normal in the industry... those of us who were saying it on here, who worked in said industry, know this. We were called "apologists" though, when really we are "realists". You do not announce anything until you have concrete evidence. There is credit/FDC protection from every bank in this country for a reason.

If anyone pays attention to the industry... they know this is the norm.

Sony was actually the speediest with saying everything 5 days later.

Anyhow, the horse has been beaten.

**** Games now too...when is it gonna end? Even if it hasn't been widely reported yet, I can verify this one as I got the e-mail that this article describes:

http://www.slashgear.com/****-games-...cked-10158848/

I THINK that will link properly even with the asterisked name (it's the Unreal and Gears of War developer )

Clearly we should still be defending the hackers and blaming Sony.
