It would be nice if the hackers just... stopped for awhile. Like say, for a few gaming generations.

That's too bad. Seems the fortune of most companies these days. Also, like every other "X Hacked" Thread in SW which all get locked, it doesn't belong here.

No, it isn't. They've decided to reset all EA/BioWare account passwords as a precaution, presumably because a bunch of people used the same username/password combination for their EA/BioWare account as they did for the NWN forum account.

Here is the link that confirms it was EA/Bioware that sent out the emails (to clear up any confusion going on in the thread :P).

ok so I have a question to ask. What exactly does it mean when people say "insert game company" has been hacked?

I know what it means to hack a hardware like say the ps3 or 360 to play pirated games and what not but what about specific game companies like say bioware getting hacked

Their website/servers got hacked. They store user information on those servers like account username and passwords. Hackers got into that.

EVERYBODY's being hacked. Looks like some companies are hacking themselves so that they don't feel left out.

We recently learned that hackers gained unauthorized access to the decade-old BioWare server system supporting the Neverwinter Nights forums.

Anyone else getting problems trying to reset their passwords? I tried but the website says the link expired. So I requested a new reset link but I haven't received one yet. Been waiting for half an hour...

I finally got it. Only took them about 40 minutes or so to send it to me...

Yeah got the email too. No CC info was apparently taken, and at least my password reset worked.
