Digital Extreme has revealed that over 775,000 Warframe players has had their emails leaked to hackers but passwords and financial details were not included in the data breach.
The game is one of the famous multiplayer shooters in Steam as it takes players into space and other planets to carry out missions where they can shoot and slash to kill enemies. Warframe developer Digital Extreme said that the game’s players were victims of the data breach in November 2014 and that they are only discovering about it now.
Despite the admittance, the developer said that the data breach did not come from their side. Digital Extreme said that the hack was conducted through a phishing attack done via a Drupal SQL exploit that was already fixed by Drupal just 14 days after the breach itself was created, MCV has learned.
The Warframe servers and forum sites from Digital Extreme was said to be secure at the time which led to the conclusion that it was an attack on the outside. Users could have been duped into entering their emails into a fake website posing as a legit one for Warframe players. For the full article click here
