Epic forums compromised by hackers
“We are sorry to report that the incident may have resulted in unauthorized access to your username, email address, password, and the date of birth you provided at registration,” the developer said.
The good news is the Unreal Engine 4, Fortnite and the new Unreal Tournament forums were not affected. Unfortunately the UDK forum was, along with the less active Infinity Blade, Gears of War, Bulletstorm and past Unreal Tournament games forums.
The forums have been taken offline and mandatory password resets will be issued when they come back up, but in the meantime members should move to protect themselves by changing any duplicate passwords.
Epic said it’s working with a security firm to investigate the hack, and will update users with more information. It also warned against phishing attempts that may result from compromised data.

To be honest I personally do not see any point in hacking things for no reason if people have not done anything to them, I feel they just want a lot of attention.

KouHopsin_ What idiots, like what is the point seriously?
Hackers are not idiots, they're highly intelligent people.
Don't have to necessarily be highly intelligent, just a good set of skills.
