The developers behind Arma and Day Z have announced they were the victims of an “illegal attempt” to access personal usernames and information on their servers. On July 11th hackers obtained “a database containing usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords.”
According to the security update on their interactive website…
“Please note due to the encryption of the passwords it is very unlikely that anything nefarious can be done with this information.”
Bohemia also ensures,
“No other information such as credit card details is stored by us and thus was not at any risk from this illegal breach.”
To take further precaution, the developers decided to reset all passwords on site–users cannot access any of their websites or forums until they create a new password.
No word yet on who is responsible party for the security breach.
