It has, thankfully, been some time since the long string of attacks by hackers on games and game companies earlier this year. Unfortunately, Bethesda, one of the targets during that period, may have been hit again this past week.
A post on the official forums reveals that there was a “potential breach of our forum user database” on Friday, August 12. In response, all forum passwords have been reset, so existing members will need to create a new password before being able to log in again. There are also instructions for who to contact if you no longer have access to your old email address.
Bethesda was among those attacked in June by hackers seeking to steal user data, but the public was reassured that billing information was not at risk. Hacker group LulzSec, which was reportedly responsible for many of the attacks that took place after the PlayStation Network breach, claimed to have in its possession Brink players’ personal information, although nothing ever became of it.
