Gamigo hacked - accounts compromised/deactivated?

Ashnurazg · 03-01-2012, 06:25 PM

Yesterday a hacker stole data from Gamigo's database and compromised their forums and sites. It seems that the data released to public via the hosting service called mediafire.

It should contain user data with passwords in plain text. Now the Regnum launcher notifies me that "user not found". I already checked my password - it's correct. The client doesn't start, neither with the launcher nor directly.

Is there a chance to get my account back and play Regnum?

All Gamigo passwords has been reset on our database. Changing it should allow you to enter the game again.

And how can we change our password? All gamigo sites aren't accesable...

How I can change my password? The gamigo Account System is still offline.
Can I use NGD's retrieve password form?

At least some professionalism. It's a good thing that was done so fast, since basically everyone can download the whole data base.

At login there appears: User/password not valid. The same if I want to login on http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/. So I sent a new password request and changed my password. Now I can log in to http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/ and have full acces there. But if I try to log in to the game with my old Username and my new password still "User/password not valid" appears... And I don't see my character overview on http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/ so I think all is gone?

Nothing is gone, all of you should worry about other accounts of yours, though. If you use the same password over and over again, that is. I don't, and I for sure know why.

I don't get what you mean?
I have unique passwords for my logins.
Can you login with your gamigo account? With your old password? With a changed password? If changed, then here:http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/ or where else?

And if you were logged in to http://www.regnumonlinegame.com/ you could see a character overview with XP/gold etc for each character. I can login there and no character is shown there, so I suppose the data isn't existing anymore?

The data is there, the website character viewer was disabled some days ago due to database overload. No character data was lost. Don't worry.

Hi,
as I understood this, all passwords for gamigo accounts were resetted.
So it should be possible to use the "forgot password" form on regnumonline.com.ar, to login with a gamigo account to RA, right?

What shall the ones do that forgot the email address which they used to register the account?

cheers
