Bioware Forums

OK .. most of you may have heard about this by now, but I thought I'd post it here so all could see it.

The Bioware NWN1 and NWN2 forums are currently closed due to security issues caused by hackers. If you receive this e-mail it is NOT saying your accounts have been compromised ... it is just advising you to take precautions such as changing your password. I have taken the advice and changed all my passwords.
We recently learned that hackers gained unauthorized access to the
decade-old BioWare server system supporting the Neverwinter Nights
forums. We immediately took appropriate steps to protect our
consumers' data and launched a thorough ongoing evaluation of the
breach. We have determined that no credit card data was compromised
from the servers, nor did we ever have or store sensitive data like
social security numbers. Our investigation shows that information
such as user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, mailing
addresses, names, phone numbers, CD keys and birth dates from
accounts on the system may have been compromised, as well as other
information (if any) that you may have associated with this forum
account. In an abundance of caution, we have disabled your legacy
Account. To create a new account please visit social.bioware.com.

We take the security of your information very seriously and regret
any inconvenience this may have caused you. If your username, email
address and/or password on your Neverwinter Nights account are
similar to those you use on other sites, we recommend changing the
password at those sites as well.
I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.
