The War Z’s database has been hacked

wzleadin

The War Z’s forum and game database were hacked on April 2nd. The game has since gone offline (along with the game’s forums), and OP Productions is investigating the issue. The database hackers have acquired players’ usernames, passwords, email and IP addresses. Payment information however, such as credit card information, is still secured by a third-party company.

It has been suggested that those who have simplistic passwords should change them into stronger passwords immediately. So far, external experts and investigators working on the case have already patched some of the ways in which the hackers obtained the players’ information.

I was five years old when I played my very first videogame: 'Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World' (on the Super Nintendo.) Although, that was back in 1996, during the beginning of the Nintendo 64 timeline. Thus began my trend of always being one console behind. I owned a Nintendo 64 during the days of Xbox and PlayStation 2; and I owned a Game Boy Color during the prime of the Game Boy Advance. It was only until recently that I have started keeping up to date with the current console timeline. I bought an Xbox 360 during it's launch, and it is my gaming platform to this very day. Now hoping to someday own a PlayStation Vita, and a non-craptastic PC, I am also hoping to keep up with the gaming industry from this point forward. That is, until I become too old to care to keep up with technology. Or until I'm too old to remember my name, or something like that. You know, looking on the bright side of things.
