Gaming Evolved Raptr hacké

La communauté de joueurs Raptr

D'après un email envoyé à ses membres par le CEO de Raptr, il semblerait qu'une partie de l'application Gaming Evolved Raptr d'AMD, l'extension communautaire de Raprt, ait été hackée.

D'après le même email, envoyé par le CEO de Raptr Dennis Fong, il semblerait que les attaquants aient volé des données incluant les pseudonymes, noms, prénoms, adresses email et mots de passe cryptés des compte de connexion au service de Raptr.

Fong a aussi ajouté que grâce au système de vérification en deux étapes de Raptr, les points accumulés ne pourront être perdus, mais il a tout de même conseillé à tous les utilisateurs de rapidement changer leur mot de passe.

Comme vous pouvez le voir dans le message présente à la suite, Fong a aussi noté que si le risque potentiel pour les utilisateurs de Raptr est minime, tout compte sur un autre site utilisant les mêmes emails et mot de passe devrait voir son mot de passe changé par sécurité.


Citation :
Maintaining the highest level of security around your Raptr account information is of the utmost importance to us, so we're very sorry to inform you that some Raptr user data may have been recently compromised in an attack similar to hacking activities that have targeted other high-profile sites and services such as Xbox Live and Sony's PlayStation Network.

User names, email addresses, password hashes, and some first and last names may have been accessed. This means that although the passwords are hashed, users with weak passwords are vulnerable to unauthorized access. It's important to note that our two-factor authentication system used for redeeming Raptr Reward Points ensures that even if your Raptr account was among those compromised, the points you've earned as a Raptr member are protected.

Although the potential risk to Raptr users is pretty minimal, we urge you to access any accounts on other sites and services in which you use the same login and password associated with your Raptr account and change the related password(s) immediately.

Reset your password at your earliest convenience in order to help safeguard your Raptr account. In doing so, we strongly advise you to use a password that is reasonably complex and not associated with another site/service account.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Raptr's Customer Service group.

We're extremely sorry about this situation and are committed to further improving account security going forward.
Sincerely,
Dennis Fong
Founder & CEO, Raptr
