Bohemia Interactive announces that the attack on its websites has allowed a group to gain access to personal information such as usernames, e-mail addresses and passwords, although more sensitive data has not been exposed.

The team tells GamesIndustry.biz: “Please note due to the encryption of the passwords it is very unlikely that anything nefarious can be done with this information.”

However, gamers who have an account should change their passwords to be safe when they get an official e-mail from the company.

Bohemia adds, “We would like to reassure everyone that no other information such as credit card details is stored by us and thus was not at any risk from this illegal breach.”

At the moment, the studio is working on military simulation ArmA III, which is in closed beta stage with pre-order giving fans access to it.
