Eidos hacked by Anonymous
May 13th, 2011, 13:09
http://krebsonsecurity.com/2011/05/a…-company-hack/
KrebsOnSecurity.com obtained an archived copy of the attackers’ online chatter as they were covering their tracks from compromising the sites. A hacker using the alias “ev0″ discusses having defaced the sites and downloading some 9,000 resumes from Eidos. ev0 and other hackers discuss leaking “src,” which may refer to source code for Deus Ex or other Eidos games. In a separate conversation, the hackers also say they have stolen information on at least 80,000 Deus Ex users and that they plan to release the data on file-sharing networks.

The problem of being in a group like Anonymous is that they have no official spokesperson.

Anything about their motivation for doing so ?
A lot of personal data, CVs, was disclosure, it is already being torrented.

Well, isn't a CV something you'd want every possible company to have anyway?
I wounder if they got source code….. that would be much more serious IMHO.

Here's the official statement from Square Enix:
Quote:
Quote:
Square Enix can confirm a group of hackers gained access to parts of our Eidosmontreal.com website as well as two of our product sites. We immediately took the sites offline to assess how this had happened and what had been accessed, then took further measures to increase the security of these and all of our websites, before allowing the sites to go live again.http://forums.eidosgames.com/showpos…6&postcount=79
Eidosmontreal.com does not hold any credit card information or code data, however there are resumes which are submitted to the website by people interested in jobs at the studio. Regrettably up to 350 of these resumes may have been accessed, and we are in the process of writing to each of the individuals who may have been affected to offer our sincere apologies for this situation. In addition, we have also discovered that up to 25,000 email addresses were obtained as a result of this breach. These email addresses are not linked to any additional personal information. They were site registration email addresses provided to us for users to receive product information updates.
No dissemination or misappropriation of any other personal information has been identified at this point.
We take the security of our websites extremely seriously and employ strict measures, which we test regularly, to guard against this sort of incident.

When I read about this hackings… I always feel there is a really poor network administrator somewhere…….. who had to work 24/7 and in danger of being fired.

And, besides : Why does this stuff always have to be connected to the internet ?
Not connecting becomes a security measure, it seems to me, more and more …
