Over one million accounts from American, French, German, and Russian forums were hijacked by R2Games, which had its second hack in a few years.
The hacker who verified that the security breech occurred earlier this month was the source of the news, according to LeakBase, a data breach notification service.
This time the hacker stated that all of the R2Games-managed forums, including the Russian edition of r2games.com, had been compromised.
Players are advised to reset their passwords on the R2Games forums and for any other service where they use the same login information, as the game company did not reply to demands for comment.
