Crytek takes servers down after suspicious activity

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/05/2013 08:07 AM | source: | 28 comment(s)

Yesterday Crytek has taken down all of their severs including Crytek.com, Mycryengine.com, Crydev.net and MyCrysis.com. Apparently they have been breached as the pages report a note on 'suspicious activity'.

Thus far Crytek has not released any information about what has happened so it is unclear what user data is vunerable:

THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE

We recently became aware of suspicious activity relating to some of Crytek's websites, and acted quickly to take those websites offline for security reasons.

We thank you for your patience, and expect to have these sites fully operational soon.

Got the email this morning...

Dear X,

We recently became aware of suspicious activity relating to some of Crytek’s websites, and acted quickly to take those websites offline for security reasons.

The sites listed below are currently offline:

Crytek.com
Mycryengine.com
Crydev.net
MyCrysis.com
The following Crytek sites remain online and are not affected by these issues:

GFACE.com
Crysis.com
Warface.com
If you have an account at crydev.net or mycrysis.com, you will be asked to change your password next time you log in. If you use your current password anywhere else online, we would also suggest that you reset it at those sites.

We are working on getting all websites fully operational again as soon as possible. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.

The Crytek Team

It was amusing at first but now I'm getting tired of hearing about sites getting hacked. I'm glad that I'm averse to making accounts on websites unless I absolutely have to

I don't have an account with Crytek, EA or UBI for this reason. I don't buy off STEAM anymore and only use a handful of game sites to buy DRM Free so don't have to make a game account or be online, granted this severely limits what I play but the last few years there's not been anything sparkling worth playing for me anyway

LOL, Now CryTek gets hacked!!

I think I speak for this whole forum when I tell you that I'm glad for you that you could bring yourself to confronting what is obviously your own worst fear in such a mature way.

Adding to this, I also got an email moments ago from apple regarding a request I didn't make to confirm I want to change my apple ID...
