Ubisoft hacked and warns everyone to change their passwords

transparent-binary1.jpgHi guys, just a quick one this time, Ubisoft the massive games distributor and creator of my favourite series the Assassins Creed brand has had a major security hack and passwords have been compromised. They have emailed all their account holders and advised them to change their passwords for Ubisoft and for others areas where they may have used the same password.

Here is what IT Portal posted on it after I had received my email and changed my password.

There seem to be a good number of these breaches to peoples details, should we be more paranoid or are these occurrences rarer than we think? What do you think?
