Nefarious individuals managed to access usernames, emails, and encrypted passwords. Fortunately, payment info wasn't present on the servers, so that wasn't accessed.
Ubisoft's Uplay service has gone through quite a few problems in recent times, with the most important being an intrusion that allowed Uplay users to access unreleased games.
Now, Ubisoft has confirmed through an email sent to Uplay users that its database had been hacked through one of the company's websites.
