Bethesda confirms personal data compromised
No personal financial or credit card information was obtained in the attack, however.
Bethesda’s advised that users change their passwords for its websites, including its community forums and the statistics site for Brink, further adding to “keep an eye out for suspicious emails and account activity.”
The attacks follow a warning over the weekend from hacker group Lulz Sec on Twitter.
“We were going to keep this little treasure chest to ourselves, but it appears the hand has been bitten. Say your prayers, Brink users. >:],” it said in one tweet.
A second tweet added: “Big lulz coming up in the near future. Time to show these bitches how it’s done. #Brink #Bethesda #ZeniMax.“

I just read an article about lulz Sec. They hacked the US Senate website and the CIA website. Even though it was only for a few moments.
After reading some posts, it's clear they're immature kids not from the US.
If they keep this up......I don't think they realize the magnitude of punishment they are going to get....

dbagdi92 This Lulz Sec were the latest people to hack PSN, but they weren't the people who took it down for a month, LS didn't hack it til after it got put up again!
And Why the **** are they even hacking games companies, this is just getting stupid now
Why are video games companies treating your information like shit. You should be happy these guys exposed these dirty companies, they never gave out the 200,000 Brink users information that they took, which bethesda left right there for anyone to take.

got it all backwards.. Shame on Sony, Shame on Bethesda games, Fox, Pron ect.. For treating all your information like crap. The information your information was right there for anybody with hacking skills to see. Could of fed off it for years. So they exposed them, these companies are raping us for cash, I expected my shit to be safe. These companies should be fined and sent to jail.

No matter how good you are at doing your job. There is always someone better. They need more security for there websites. If you know what your doing, websites arent that hard to hack.

XHomer-Telenow-benson733 All these "major" hackers should F*** off and get a job. Hopefully they get arrested for a good amount of time and realise what they are doing.
They obviously wont get arrested because they know what they're doing.
They will get caught if they carry on. And I hope they do. So all the fans should go **** themselves.
They will get caught for this. They will do it for so long. Wen they get the right people on the job. They will be in shit.
