http://blog.ubi.com/security-update-for-all-ubisoft-account-holders/

We recently discovered that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorized access to some of our online systems. We instantly took steps to close this off and to begin a thorough investigation with the relevant authorities, internal and external security experts, and to start restoring the integrity of any systems that may have been compromised.

During this process, we learned that data had been illegally accessed from our account database, including user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. It’s important to note that no personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, so fortunately all credit/debit card information was safe from this intrusion.

As a result, we are recommending that everyone with a Ubisoft account changes their password. You can do so by clicking the link here.

We would also recommend that you change your password on any other Web site or service where you use the same or a similar password to help ensure the safety of your personal information.

Additional information is available in the form of a Q&A below. An official forum thread has also been created for you to post your questions if you have any here. As well as this our community teams are available to offer support and any additional assistance that you might need.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and we would like to thank you for your understanding.

So that must be why 90% of their games never run correctly. :P
I wonder if Ubi keep the credit card details of their customers in plain unencrypted txt files like Sony :)
They're not making a good job of convincing me to change my mind about Uplay, to say the least...

Some people can't get over the always-on DRM, despite the fact that it's gone. Being resentfully seems to be the new black.

Agreed. I am neither amused nor impressed by the antics of hackers who should apply their skills and intelligence to more worthwhile endeavors. This kind of crap ultimately inconveniences (minimally) customers more than anybody else and it sucks.

So because I wanted to play Far Cry 3 my account being hacked is funny? I don't get it.
I really fail to see how anyone can think this is amusing...

Godamn hackers, everywhere...

The real issue is that Ubisoft obviously do not bother with proper security, which is why it happened.

There's a lesson somewhere in this I think. Something about the risks of having games being tied to online accounts and DRM or something.
Son of a bitch, I only have 1 game on UPLAY but this seems to cause me many problems.

Thank god i don't have any Uplay games. Sucks for the people that do hope they don't lose anything over this.
