Games developer Codemasters has taken its website offline and advised users to change their passwords in the aftermath of a hack attack last week.
Unknown attackers made off with a treasure trove of personal information following an attack on Codemaster' website last Friday (3 June). Hackers got access to the Codemasters CodeM database, EStore, and code redemption pages.

Details lost included members' names, usernames, screen names, email addresses, dates of birth, encrypted passwords, newsletter preferences, biographies entered by users, details of last site activity, IP addresses and Xbox Live Gamertags. In addition, telephone numbers, encrypted passwords and order histories were accessed and compromised from the Codemasters electronic store.
