    Is it time to finally invest in 1Password? Maybe so. Ubisoft has revealed new details about a recent website exploit that exposed its account database, including “user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords.”

    “We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorized access to some of our online systems,” said the company in a statement on its forums. “We instantly took steps to close off this access, to begin a thorough investigation with relevant authorities, internal and external security experts, and to start restoring the integrity of any compromised systems.”

    Encrypted passwords means the passwords themselves were not exposed in their pure form, but if a particular password isn’t very strong, it wouldn’t take much trouble for it to be deciphered.

    Ubisoft said payment information was not exposed, so your debit and credit card should be safe.

    If your Uplay password is one shared among other web services, it’s time to change all of those, too.

    Well, fortunately I have only used Uplay for getting in game items. Still a pain to have to change my password. Fucking hackers.

    I'm just gonna hope I don't use what ever password I use there anywhere else, and then pretend I never saw this. That'll work right?

    I find it always funny that when stuff like this happens, your payment information and credit card number always seem to be "unexposed".

    Those must receive some added level of security than I guess. If that's the case, why can't they use that security to keep my password from being stolen/copied in the first place.

    Well I couldn't find a way to change passwords from within the Uplay client, so dealing with their super slow website was unfortunate.

    Yeah I just got the email as well and was going to post on this forum page if no one had. Fantastic! Figured it was legit when it came in since the email address forwarder I used was ONLY used for Ubisoft to play Anno 2070.

    @clonedzero: I got a direct link that ask me to change my password (without requiring my old one). So I guess you would just need to know the email address you signed up with.

    @jimmyfenix: Yea I had that problem when a few months ago. It was the worst as I couldnt figure it out, I think clear your cache and stuff and it may reset?

    At least in this its saying encrypted passwords rather than just flat out email address directly linked with password in plain sight.

    Site's down, can't change password.

    Uplay, even when not playing games you find a way to be a complete piece of shit.

    (update) got the e-mail and was able to reset the password that way, check your spam folders.

    Console U-play probably doesn't count? I mean, that's just linked to your gamertag anyway, there's no password involved there, as far as I recall.

    Right?

    Ubi site FAQ about the breach is dated last Friday. Nice of them to publish the 'oh God, change your password' note then but not tell those hacked or the press until today.

    And that's why, of the 4 different passwords I use when creating accounts, uPlay had the "even-if-you-happen-to-know-this-password-it's-nothing-important-anyway" one.

    Changed it. Luckily I didn't use that password for anything else so I don't have to worry. I already had to change a ton of passwords once because of Battlenet, I don't want to do that again.

    What is with this backwards thinking bullshit? Clearly passwords are useless paper shields. Is there no other way to confirm someone's identity today? It's like every other month a website is hacked and it's change the password time. Just get rid of passwords, duh.

    I don't remember if I have an account either, but I may have inexplicably signed up for one while playing one of the Assassin's Creed games. Not that that matters right now because their site is "down of maintenance."

    I got this email earlier today and thought it may be a phishing thing. I guess I need to change my PW now :(

    I don't even remember what password I used on there. Guess I get to change everything.
