Blizzard Recommends You Change Your WoW Password |
Listed in: News Tags: Blizzard, rift, trion worlds, World of Warcraft, WoW
We reported last week that Rift, a very popular MMORPG published by Trion Worlds, had suffered a major security breach. The hackers assumedly didn’t get any credit card information, but user passwords may have been compromised. This led Trion to reset the Rift passwords for all users, just to be safe. They also awarded players a special item that awards players 10% more gold when looting, in case they had to take the realms down.
Today, Blizzard fired a message out to World of Warcraft subscribers via its official Twitter account, stating that if you use the same password for more than one game, it may be a good idea to change it. Since Rift password information has potentially been compromised, it’s safe to assume that clever hackers may try that information to access accounts in different games.
Blizzard didn’t call Rift out by name, referring only to “one of the more popular MMOs,” but the message is clear – if you play Rift, make sure your password is safe. If your Rift account and WoW account share similar information, both are at risk regardless of which developer is compromised.
This is an interesting moment for the world of gaming. No matter how amazing Blizzard’s internal security may be, they’re only as strong as their users and the other games those users play. Seems frustrating, from a security perspective.
Did you get caught up in the Rift hack? And do you use the same password across several sites/services?
