Frogster, publisher of games including the free-to-play MMO Runes of Magic, has come under attack by a hacker, who claims to have stolen login data for 3.5 million user accounts. This hacker, known only by the message board title Augustus87 , demands that the Berlin-based company offer more secure clients, stop deleting forum threads, and stop its alleged spying on its employees or else the stolen information will be released to the public and the game servers will be shut down. Lead community manager for Runes of Magic, Mike “Silberfuchs” Kiefer, posted in the forums: “This incident is very distressing to all of us. It is targeted not only at Frogster as a company, but also at Runes of Magic as a virtual biosphere and at you as players. We are always open to constructive suggestions. However, giving your opinion on blackmail and extortion is surely not the correct approach.”  Frogster has notified the authorities and is working hard to find out how this could have happened. |
