EA Forums Hacked
Yet another one bites the dust.
EA's forums went offline yesterday without any warning. Electronic Arts has revealed today that it was because the forums were hacked. However, EA has already fixed the issue and the forums are now back online. According to EA UK community manager Dan Sheridan:
As some of you noticed the homepage of the forums was defaced by a hacker yesterday using a very new exploit for the software which runs the forums. This was noticed quickly and we took the action to take the forums offline while we investigated the details.
This work is now complete and the vulnerability we believe was used has now been fixed.
There is no evidence that any personal data was compromised and as passwords aren't stored in a recoverable manner, we are confident they remain secure.
