Site-urile Epic Games si Codemasters atacate de hackeri - Stories & Other News - Page 0

In ultima vreme tot mai multe companii au avut probleme din cauza hackerilor. Nu vorbesc doar de Sony care au incasat o lovitura serioasa fiind nevoiti sa opreasca toate serviciile lor online timp de o luna ci si Nintendo sau Square Enix care nici ei nu au scapat de "furia" hackerilor. Din nefericire si studio-urile Codemasters si Epic Games sunt nevoite sa se alature acestei liste. Datorita acestor atacuri au trimis cateva e-mail-uri clientilor pentru a-i avertiza ca sunt sanse destul de mare ca anumite date de ale lor sa fie furate (adrese de email, numere de telefon, nume si prenume, parole, istorice ale comenzilor, adrese IP, gamertaguri Xbox Live etc) si de aceea recomanda schimbarea parolei si a setarilor intr-un timp cat mai scurt.

Desi nu se stie daca exista vreo legatura intre aceste atacuri, nu putem sa nu observam ca numarul lor a crescut destul de mult in ultimele luni. Acuma ar trebui sa ne intrebam nu doar cand va avea loc urmatorul atac ci si care vor fi urmatoarele lor tintele (sincer nu m-ar deranja sa aflu si motivele lor).

Iar mai jos un exemplu de e-mail trimis din partea celor de la epic:

Epic Games Forums - Account Password Vulnerability
...
From:Epic Games Forums <[email protected]>
...
To: *******@yahoo.com

** We apologize if you're getting this message twice. We had a problem with our password reset script. **

Dear *******,

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

This past week, Xbox Live account information was released by hacker group LulzSec. Sega also made its way onto the hacked list. In a strange turn of events, Lulz tweeted that the group would like to lend Sega a hand.
"Sega - contact us," Lulz tweeted. "We want to help you destroy the hackers that attacked you. We love the Dreamcast, these people are going down."
