Bethesda Softworks, the studio behind the Fallout series and the recently released Brink, has confirmed on Monday that they are the latest victim of a hacking attempt last weekend and warned its users that hackers may have stolen some personal data.

"Over the past weekend, a hacker group attempted an unlawful intrusion of our websites to gain access to data," the studio said in a blog post. "We believe we have taken appropriate action to protect our data against these attacks. While no personal financial information or credit card data was obtained, the hackers may have gained access to some user names, email addresses, and/or passwords. As a precaution, we recommend that all our fans immediately change passwords on all our sites — including our community forums, statistics site for Brink, and here on the blog.

"If your username/email address/password is similar to what you use on other sites, we recommend changing the password at those sites as well. As we don’t know what further plans the hackers may have, we suggest that you keep an eye out for suspicious emails and account activity.

"We regret any inconvenience that these attacks on us cause for you," Bethesada said. "These attacks will be evaluated to determine if there are any additional protections we might take that would be prudent."

This come on the heels of the recent cyber atack that crippled Sony, Codemasters, Nintendo UK and the recent attack on Epic Games.
