It seems more and more gaming companies are being targeted by hackers these days, from SOE to the Steam and LotRO forums and just a few days ago Square Enix. Well today Trion sent out emails to all its customers stating,
We recently discovered that unauthorized intruders gained access to a Trion Worlds account database. The database in question contained information including user names, encrypted passwords, dates of birth, email addresses, billing addresses, and the first and last four digits and expiration dates of customer credit cards.
There is no evidence, and we have no reason to believe, that full credit card information was accessed or compromised in any way. We have already taken further action to strengthen our systems, even as we, with external security experts, continue to research the extent of the unauthorized access.
You should have continued, uninterrupted access to RIFT, and we do not anticipate any disruptions to your playing time.
To compensate players for the breach, Trion World is giving all subscribers 3 extra days added to their game time plus a Moneybags’ Purse, which increases looted coin by 10%.
RIFT players will be required to change their passwords on the next log-in and players using Mobile Authenticators will also need to reconnect their Authenticator.
Stay safe.
