The latest videogame target of hackers is Trion Worlds MMO Rift. The game’s publisher is notifying customers that an account database has been breached, potentially revealing information like user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, and, most alarmingly, the first and last four digits of users’ credit card numbers.
At this point Trion claims “there is no evidence, and we have no reason to believe, that full credit card information was accessed or compromised in any way.” However reassuring that may or may not be, the company is working to bolster its security to prevent subsequent attacks as it continues investigating the severity of the breach.
