The company reached out to potentially affected users to let them know that information such as password, email address, user name, home address, phone number, and date of birth may have been compromised, The Wall Street Journal reports
. Twitch was hacked
in August by the activist hacker group Lizard Squad after news of its acquisition by Amazon. That attack, however, merely took the website offline and did not require password resets. Twitch hasn't disclosed how many accounts were compromised or the duration of the attack. The video-streaming website Twitch, which Amazon bought in August for $970 million, has been hacked. "For your protection," the post reads, "we have expired passwords and stream keys and have disconnected accounts from Twitter and YouTube.
Are we seeing a new trend in hacking game companies? Despite the extensive compromised data, Codemasters assures its customers that no payment information or credit card numbers were accessed, as it uses a third party to handle transactions.
In February thieves hacked into the SWIFT system of the Bangladesh central bank, sending messages to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York allowing them to steal $81 million. The attack follows a similar but little noticed theft from Banco del Austro in Ecuador last year that netted thieves over $12 million and a previously undisclosed attack on Vietnam's Tien Phong Bank that was not successful. Banks send payment instructions to one another via SWIFT messages.

It's hard to quantify just how harmful and prevalent these hacking networks are. Nexon has taken legal action against specific, particularly sophisticated hackers, but thousands and thousands of players use simple hacks on a daily basis. In MapleStory, mass duplication of the kind done by Liu and his friends is less common, and almost always leads to extreme deflation since the supply of goods becomes artificially inflated.

"China's actions (in the South China Sea) challenge fundamental principles, and we're not going to look the other way," Carter said. The United States disputes China's sovereignty in the region and has conducted several "freedom of navigation" operations in which it deliberately sails close by the islands, attracting the ire of Beijing. Carter also blasted Chinese cyber attacks on US companies. "China's cyber-actors have violated the spirit of the Internet -- not to mention the law -- to perpetrate large-scale intellectual property theft from American companies," he said.
