Early 13th and 14th January an anonymous offender published two entries in free MMORPG Runes of Magic's forum. In these he threatened to make customers and in-company data public.
Further the offender published more than 2.000 login-records in an entry, which was immediately deleted by Frogster. Users' data is any longer totally safe!
Attack on user data
With posting the login-records the offender also published a list of claims concerning community communication and technical aspects of gaming. This is a blackmailing-attempt, which is a serious punishable act. Accordingly, Frogster built a task force for clarifying the incident and reported about the attack to the proper police.
The published login-data were records, applied in 2007. For safety reasons affected accounts, including account-, forum- and game-access, were closed temporary. Publisher informed the respective players personally about the reasons and possibilities to reactivate their account.
All players are encouraged to change all their keywords for safety reasons. Naturally playing Frogster games trouble-free is futhermore possible for all not affected gamers.
