<div align=“justified”>In light of all the criminal web acts which have been flying around as of recently, it seems as if the trend itself has continued to occur. Reported today was that British game developers, Codemasters, had their website breached June 3rd. With their recent work of the new Dirt 3, Codemasters claimed to have lost numerous pieces of personal information. Names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, passwords, IP addesses and Xbox gamer tags were among the list of things which have been compromised by the so called ‘hackers’.
When questioned around the source of the internal exposure, Codemasters stated that the intrusion method was unknown. Adding to the speculation, suggested was the unsure numbers of those who had been totally affected by the mishap. Though not accurate, it is believed tens of thousands who have registered an account with the developers could be at risk.
As of yet, there is no knowing what will happen with those whom have lost their information. A recommendation has been placed out by the publisher stating the following:

This breach has been classified by Codemasters as rather significant. However, believed is the idea that no payment details were accessed during June 3rd. Their official website is currently offline as it undergoes rigorous maintenance to underline all issues. Latest information can also be found on their official facebook page. </div>
