Ubisoft

A wave of account hacks hit Ubisoft's Uplay service this week, resulting in a 15-page forum thread of around 100 gamers reporting their inability to play games like Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed 3, some of whom claim to have used secure, randomly generated passwords. Most say they received email notifications that the email address attached to their accounts were changed to a one using a Russian domain, indicating a single hacker or group behind the scheme.

There probably aren't many PC gamers who are big Ubisoft fans. In spite of owning a stable of massively successful franchises, including Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, Ubisoft has a long history of making life difficult for customers who play their titles on computers instead of consoles. PC versions of popular Ubisoft titles are released weeks or months after their console counterparts.
