Codemasters, the UK-based video game development company, has fallen
foul of hackers, who have broken into their network and stolen
customer information.
...
Names, addresses, usernames, dates of birth, telephone numbers, gamer
tags, and encrypted passwords are just some of the pieces of
information stolen by the hackers. Fortunately, the firm assures
customers that credit card information was not included in the
hackers' haul, but the data which was exposed would be of value to
phishers and other online criminals.
