Hackers Break Codemasters’ Code

Hackers Break Codemasters’ Code

None

An e-mail sent out today from Codemasters to the company’s customers warns that, on June 3, the company’s Codemasters.com website suffered an external intrusion and, though the site and associated web services—such as the DiRT 3 VIP code redemption page and the EStore—were taken down immediately upon its detection, Codemasters warns that customer data may have been compromised.


Information that may have fallen into hackers’ hands includes: usernames, e-mail addresses, encrypted passwords, personal data, IP addresses and site preferences.

Codemasters informs users that they have been conducting a thorough investigation since the day of the attack “in order to ascertain the extent and scope of the breach,” which is how they discovered that, in addition to data on the Codemasters.com website, the EStore and CodeM database had also been compromised.
