Bethesda Confirms Website Hack
Some personal data accessed.
UK, June 13, 2011
Bethesda has confirmed that over the past weekend a hacker group "attempted an unlawful intrusion" of its websites.
Speaking on its official blog (http://bethblog.com/index.php/2011/06/1 ... nd-forums/), Bethesda said that "While no personal financial information or credit card data was obtained, the hackers may have gained access to some user names, email addresses, and/or passwords."
It has advised users to change their passwords on all Bethesda sites, and any other site for which they use a similar username, password, or email address.
The attacks were preceded by a series of Twitter threats, according to VG24/7. The hacker group Lulz Sec tweeted on June 12: "We were going to keep this little treasure chest to ourselves, but it appears the hand has been bitten. Say your prayers, Brink users. >:]"
This was soon followed by "Big lulz coming up in the near future. Time to show these bitches how it's done. #Brink #Bethesda #ZeniMax".
Bethesda also advised users to keep an "eye out for suspicious emails and account activity."
