Play.com, a popular online merchandiser for video games, music and movies, recently sent out an e-mail to customers warning them of a security breach.

 

"Email Security Message

We are emailing all our customers to let you know that a company that handles part of our marketing communications has had a security breach. Unfortunately this has meant that some customer names and email addresses may have been compromised.

We take privacy and security very seriously and ensure all sensitive customer data is protected. Please be assured this issue has occurred outside of Play.com and no other personal customer information has been involved.

Please be assured we have taken every step to ensure this doesn’t happen again and accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused some of you."

I am using it to preorder Naruto: Kizuna Drive and the 3rd Birthday: Twisted Edition, both I got for £17.99 this is the first time I am using them. Though it is not there fault really as it wasn't there company that got breached. I would still use them in future if the give me my games safe and sound! I believe our card details are still safe :)
