Ubisoft hacked: Database accessed by hackers

One of the websites of Ubisoft Entertainment has been hacked. The company their headquarter is based in Montreuil, France but it originated from Carentoir, Brittany. They are known for their best selling games like Assassins Creed.
Toda Ubisoft released a security update regarding Ubisoft accounts.Ubisoft asks the users to update their Ubisoft password.
We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorised access to some of our online systems. We instantly took steps to close off this access, to begin a thorough investigation with relevant authorities, internal and external security experts, and to start restoring the integrity of any compromised systems.
During this process, we learned that data were illegally accessed from our account database, including user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. No personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, meaning your debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion.

No personal payment information accessed

The security update tells the users that their financial information has not been accessed as it is not stored in Ubisoft itself. 

Change your other accounts 

Ubisoft also warned the users that they should also change the password of the accounts which have the same password. 
If you have some questions left for Ubisoft you can find them at this forum.
