Deus Ex and Eidos Websites Have Been Breached

Looks like the innocent aren't catching a break, especially with recent hackers. Now it seems like anyone could be a target in the game industry for whatever reason. Eidos's site and Deus Ex's official site have been hacked and leaving the message, as pictured above, with the statment "Owned by Chippy1337". Joystiq reports that a former Washington Post reporter, Brian Krebs, has gotten his hands from IRC Chat logs from the hacker group who have compromised users' information.

Square-Enix, owner of Eidos Interactive, has released a statement for the unfortunate event.

Square Enix can confirm a group of hackers gained access to parts of our Eidosmontreal.com website as well as two of our product sites. We immediately took the sites offline to assess how this had happened and what had been accessed, then took further measures to increase the security of these and all of our websites, before allowing the sites to go live again. Eidosmontreal.com does not hold any credit card information or code data, however there are resumes which are submitted to the website by people interested in jobs at the studio. Regrettably up to 350 of these resumes may have been accessed, and we are in the process of writing to each of the individuals who may have been affected to offer our sincere apologies for this situation. In addition, we have also discovered that up to 25,000 email addresses were obtained as a result of this breach. These email addresses are not linked to any additional personal information. They were site registration email addresses provided to us for users to receive product information updates. No dissemination or misappropriation of any other personal information has been identified at this point. We take the security of our websites extremely seriously and employ strict measures, which we test regularly, to guard against this sort of incident.

It's rather unfortunate with all of these hacker events going on, but we're just going to have to move on and change every little piece of our personal information.
