WarZ

OP Productions has issued a warning to its customers via email that the game and forums have been shut down temporarily following a security breach being discovered. Hackers allegedly got ahold of email addresses, encyrpted passwords, however payment information was not exposed as all payments are processed through a third party.

We have engaged outside experts and investigators to assist in our investigation of this incident and committed substantial resources to that effort. We have identified number of ways access was obtained and have enhanced our security to improve game and forum safety. We are undertaking a full review and update of our servers and the services we use and adding additional security mechanisms. In addition to this post, we are emailing all of our players just to make certain that everyone is informed and has been advised to change their passwords.
