The data affected, includes but is not limited to:

Usernames, Emails, Passwords (phpass, MD5(WordPress), MD5(phpBB3)), IP Addresses, Game & Forum Activity, & Payment Information. With some of the users who paid for certain premium features having their billing information/data breached as well.

Basically if you use the same password elsewhere change it - I've spent the last hour doing this so annoying

What were you doing using the same password in a lot of places? If you've been spending an hour changing passwords, this is how you get hacked.

[Grey Fogg]

My blankmedia games account password was obtained along with a few million others, the blankmedia games password was used elsewhere so they have been changed now (the hour was an exaggeration but it's still annoying) - if anyone else has used the same password elsewhere recommend it be changed

It is disappointing there does not seem to be an official annoucement

Pay special attention to:

Important Notes:
We don't store any credit card or payment info
All passwords were hashed and not plain text, so your emails should all be safe still if they used the same password, but you can change that as well if you are worried.

The only important data compromised would be your Username/hashed password, IP and email. Everything else is just game related data.

So while I don't mind leaving this topic up, since I see no reason for deleting it at all, I would appreciate people not spreading false info like payment info being breached.

The game database servers were hacked, but the hackers didn't get people's credit card information! In other words, the game maker didn't have that stored (thankfully).
They did still get unique user email addresses alongside usernames, IP addresses, purchase histories (how much and when), as well as people's passwords stored as phpass hashes.

I don't think this is fake, the source seems quite reliable. The question is: If it is true that BlankMediaGames does not store payment informations, how did the hacker get them anyway? Somewhere the informations must have been stored, at least temporarily, to give users access to their purchase.

It’s not fake, it’s just misleading. Granted, extremely misleading, but misleading nonetheless.

I just got the haveibeenpwned email...I've played literally one round of this game three years ago(Didn't like the game at all) and I honestly don't remember what password I used..What should I even do?
