Codemasters' Website Hacked 76
skybon writes "After similar attacks on Sony and Square Enix, Codemasters' website has now been hacked as well. The intrusion took place on 3 June, and is believed to have compromised members' names, usernames, screen names, email addresses, date of birth, encrypted passwords, newsletter preferences, any biographies entered by users, details of last site activity, IP addresses and Xbox Live Gamertags. In a letter sent out to CodeM subscribers, the company recommended changing passwords as soon as possible."

Hey, you're not allowed to hack companies who aren't flagrantly, explicitly evil! It's almost like you're hacking companies whose security is weak, rather than acting as moral crusaders. How could that be?

Interesting thought, but this is the same public that now accepts getting groped at TSA checkpoints by 300lb, $14/hr rentacops because somebody could be a terrorist. If Anonymous or somebody else were to break into the credit bureaus or some other high-value target - I fully expect there may be a couple of nominal changes, but the anger will be focused squarely on the "terrorists" who are trying to undermine our country's economy.
