Ubisoft customers told change your passwords *now*

Ubisoft, the third-largest gaming company in both Europe and the US, is urging customers to change their passwords following a breach that exposed user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. The French company emailed users and put up a blog posting about the breach on Tuesday. Ubisoft stressed that no financial data was breached, since it doesnt store personal payment information such as credit or debit card data. It is not clear exactly what, if any, salting and hashing was used, with Ubisoft commenting that passwords particularly weak ones, and most particularly those repeated on other sites could be cracked.”]
