An, as of yet, unnamed website controlled by the San Francisco based gaming company Ubisoft has been hacked. It's possible the hackers gained unauthorized access to user's account information including passwords, e-mails and usernames.

Ubisoft is the home of popular gaming titles like "Assassin's Creed" and "Far Cry" released a statement to the public, following the hacking event, urging users to change their passwords just to be cautious.

"We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorized 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," the statement from Ubisoft read. "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 debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion. Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending all our users change their passwords. We sincerely apologize to them for any inconvenience," the statement read. 

The company has created a forum thread for its customers for any complaints or questions they may have, a forum that a number of customers have already taken to in order to post their unhappy comments.

This is only the latest in a number of breaches to Ubisoft's security. Earlier this year, AllThingsD reports the company took to Twitter to disclose information that it had been the victim of a malware exploitation attack. Data from more than 200,000 users accounts was possibly compromised back then.

Ubisoft is currently working with the relevant authroities to fix the situation and is doing everything in its power to assure users that financial credit/debit card information was not affected.
