Hi,

Not sure if this is real or not, did anyone else get one? I thought I would share.


Security update regarding your Ubisoft account
- please create a new password


Dear Member,

We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorised access to some of our online systems. We instantly took steps to close off this access, investigate the incident and begin restoring the integrity of any compromised systems.

During this process, we learned that data had been illegally accessed from our account database, including user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. Please note that no personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, meaning your debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion.

As a result, we are recommending that you change the password for your account: ...........

To enter your new password,

Out of an abundance of caution, we also recommend that you change your password on any other Web site or service where you use the same or a similar password.

You can find more information here https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/FAQ.a...=2030&productid=3888&faqid=kA030000000eYYxCAM.

For any additional support enquiries, please contact our customer service via our support web site at https://support.ubi.com

We sincerely apologise to all of you for the inconvenience. Please rest assured that your security remains our priority.

The Ubisoft team

Easy way to test if it's real. Go to the ubisoft website (use Google, not that link). Try that user+pass combo. If it works it was legit :)

I am glad I don't have a Ubisoft account. Their habit of wrapping all their stuff in multiple interlocking layers of DRM that ruins your PC and limits your installation is as welcome in my life as blood on the toilet paper (and I have previously had piles, so I know whereof I speak on this.)

As a result, I boycott all things Ubisoft. Even if it looks awesomely fun like Anno 2070. Because I don't trust it not to ruin my PC.
