Nothing official for now, but this does not smell good


This person was just notified by 'Mastercard' that their name, password and email was comprised on 4/22/2021 from epic games.com:

And another person was warned by Norton.com about a possible breach:

Bet it's gonna come up in the ongoing trial somehow.

So juicy.

 

[McCheese]

Oof, hope the passwords were salted. Most Fortnite kiddies probably use the same password everywhere.

Bigchungus123!

 

[SpokkX]

Sweeny just keeps on winning this week

 

[Ellery]

Boom. Absolutely perfect timing.

 

[AV]

"What's wrong bro, it's just a launcher, shut up and use it"

 

[EliteSmurf]

Live scenes in Epic Headquarters

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Pls don't take my free games

Nice try but my password on gaming accounts is hunter2.

 

[Krizalidx11]

The deep state picked Apple's side clearly, TIM if you're reading this stop the lawsuit before they raid your company and dissolve it

 

[LordCBH]

Yeah let’s just let the shittastic epic store on iPhones so everyone can get their details stolen.

 

[Derktron]

As long as I get some V-Bucks then I'm good to go.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

[SinDelta]

This is really just not Epics week.

 

[theHFIC]

I NEED THIS STORE ON MY PHONE ASAP!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bryank75]

You'd think they'd have some protection from the Chinese.... given that Tencent has so much of their stock.

 

[{insert code here}]

 

[reksveks]

I hope this isn't the same as the fake breaches that happened against Facebook and another company. There is a difference between a breach and some dicks scraping the fuck out of a site.

Haveibeenpwned.com isn't saying anything for me but yeah, use a password generator and 2fa

 

[RoboFu]

And the store is the exact same login as using the engine ... great.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Damn someone is going to have access to 100 free games I never played.
Good for them. I was giving them that toy story andy treament.

 

[BoxFresh123]

LOL hack away. No chance these fuckers are guessing Epic123

 

[carlosrox]

Meh.

Nobody's gonna do shit with my info.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

I mean, Tencent already has all that data anyways, so....no-harm-no-foul, right?

 

[Skifi28]

It was intentional, just part of the lawsuit.

 

[Bonfires Down]

All my passwords are already compromised anyway.

I'm serious. I do use 2FA on everything important though.

 

[zeorhymer]

The breach didn't get any credit card info? I guess the Epic shopping cart hasn't been implemented.

 

[Unknown?]

Yeah let’s just let the shittastic epic store on iPhones so everyone can get their details stolen.

This happens to Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and tons of other big companies on the regular.

 

[lame gag1990]

Oh no, they have my email address. I got free games.

 

[BoxFresh123]

 

[ManaByte]

I was going to say, none of the regular cyber security channels are talking about this. Just randos on Twitter.

 

[McCheese]

Pls don't take my free games


Nice try but my password on gaming accounts is h*****2.

Huh neat it automatically censored your password.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Welp there went all my free stuff.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Huh neat it automatically censored your password.

Let me see: tit_master(.)(.)

didn't work

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Let me see: ****************

didn't work

Doesn't show for me.

 

[captainraincoat]

that sony partnership is paying off

 

[KiNeMz]

Does Epic launcher support MFA?

 

[Captain Toad]

What an Epic fail.

 

[ManaByte]

Does Epic launcher support MFA?

Epic accounts do, yes. Has nothing to do with the launcher.

You can’t even play in official Fortnite tournaments without 2FA.

 

[ShinraMiddleMananger]

 

[Holammer]

Much as I'd love to see Epic get absolutely shit on for something like this, the lack of proof is telling.
If there was an actual breach, we would have known it by now. They can't hold off informing customers.

 

[jigglet]

Not a hack. Daddy (Tencent) simply needs to track someone down for the boss.

 

[GHG]

that sony partnership is paying off

 

[Zeroing]

Clearly they weren’t using Apple’s ecosystem that is so closed, it is bulletproof

right?
joking

 

[RNG]

Good thing I don’t have an EGS account lol.

 

[Kilau]

Actually, that's price for those "free" games.

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Apple FUD

 

[Zeroing]

that sony partnership is paying off

The “Sony is cursed and anything they touch gets hacked!” Is starting to become plausible… next is the azure servers…. Ouch

also since Epic sued Apple and now Sony also got sued… we can also need to start thinking the possibility that anything Epic touches will get a lawsuit.

Joking

Yep, that would land them a heavy fine in the EU.

 

[Holammer]

Yep, that would land them a heavy fine in the EU.

Yes, since the first tweet about the alleged breach surfaced two days ago, they have 24h'ish left. GDRP demands customers get informed within 72h.

It's been more than 24 hours since those Tweets surfaced and there's been zero major cyber security outlet or person confirming it. It could just be Apple cultists trying to shit on Epic for daring to take their lord and savior into court. But the place the OP got the info from loves witch hunts without evidence, so it's no surprise they're jumping on Tweets from randos.

 

[xrnzaaas]

This is why I'm always extremely hesistant towards providing my personal data and my CC info and try to use other means like safe money transfer sites or pre-paid cards. Sites are getting hacked left and right.
