Hackers target Arma studio's website
"We have unfortunately discovered that an illegal attempt has been made to access certain of our online websites, leading to the download of a database containing usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords," reads a statement on the Bohemia website.
It goes on to state that since the passwords were encrypted "it is very unlikely that anything nefarious can be done with this information".
Bohemia also stresses that no other information, such as credit card details, is stored on its servers and as such was not at risk from this attack.
Bohemia has reset the password of every user as a response to this attack, and advises players won't be able to log in until they create a new password. To do so, players have to visit this site, enter their email address and choose 'get a new password'.
The newest Arma game, Arma 3, is currently in the Beta stage and will be officially released later this year.
A recent Arma 3 gameplay video showed the range of military combat tactics that can be implemented in the game.

bigchukka These company's put out awesome games/services and then these idiots attack them. I don't see any need for it. It's probably a group of modders that have been banned a couple times.
I don't really understand why hackers would target them. I don't think it's anything personal though

People that hack these days aren't the same people that take the credit for hacking. 1 of my friends is a hacker and he is very laid back and never threatens anyone because he knows what he can do. These guys were probably just bored and said "what the hell lets hack Bohemia Interactive".

DisastressHue Hope microsoft does get hacked next, imagine the xbox fanboys reactions!
lol i suppose that would be humorous.
I think it's unlikely for Microsoft to get hacked though, but there is a definite possibility. I wonder how they the company will react to it

M60Gmlukens What did Arma II do to anyone?
People are just so bored.
There doesn't really need to be a reason for them to do it. They where likely trying to get the personal/payment information of customers. Also possible accounts they can sell
