BioWare the Latest Victim of Rampant Hacking

This hacking stuff is totally out of control. The latest to feel the wrath of pissed off hackers is BioWare, creators of Mass Effect, Dragon Age and a number of other well-known game series.

BioWare made this statement, alerting users of the hack:

Yesterday (June 14), we learned that a hacker gained unauthorized access to the decade-old BioWare community server system associated with the Neverwinter Nights forums. We immediately took appropriate steps to protect our consumers' data and launched an ongoing evaluation of the seriousness of the breach.
