Ubisoft investigating compromised Uplay accounts
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.
