A list of over 2000 customer usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords has been released.
GAME denied (https://www.facebook.com/notes/game/an-official-message-about-todays-hacking-claims/10150610964206000) that it's been hacked. "The published email addresses are not registered users of GAME.co.uk, and there has been no breach of our database security." That leaves catalyst-gaming as a potential source of email addresses. Regardless, if you've used either site recently, a password change wouldn't hurt.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Report: UK retailer GAME's customer database breached (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/16/report-uk-retailer-games-customer-database-breached/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:30:00 EST.
