In case some of you didn't get Conrad's email...
Dear White Wolf Users,
Like many other well-known companies of the last few years, White Wolf was the
target of an attack by international hackers this weekend. These hackers are
now attempting to extort money from us with the threat of posting user data to
the internet. We have no intention of paying this money, and are in contact
with the FBI in an attempt to bring these criminals to justice.
We are choosing to make this public so that our users and fans can take any
precautions needed to protect themselves. We are recommending that if you have
used your White Wolf user password as the password for any other services you
use on the internet, that you change them immediately.
These hackers were able to exploit a flaw in our software and access user
data, this data included usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords.
As far as we can ascertain, they were unable to access any credit card data
(nor have they claimed they did). However, it is possible for the encrypted
passwords they accessed to be decrypted given enough time.
In addition, the site will be down for the next few days while we evaluate
some of the software we are using and take appropriate action to help prevent
future attacks.
We appreciate your patience and concern while we work through the details of
this process.
In addition to this posting we will be emailing our userbase with this
information. For correspondence regarding this, please direct all queries to
wwaccounts.DeleteThis@white-wolf.com .
