A text document posted online does not show login details, Game confirms
UK retailer Game has confirmed that login details posted online do not belong to its cutomers.
A Game spokesperson said that the company had "thoroughly investigated the hacking claims" and could confirm that they were "entirely false"
"The published email addresses are not registered users of GAME.co.uk, and there has been no breach of our database security."
"We would like to assure all our customers that their details are well protected, and advise anyone who has any questions to contact our customer services team via the website, our Facebook page or Twitter account."
Earlier today a document containing around 200 email addresses and passwords surfaced on an online forum. The post claimed that they were login details for Game.co.uk.

Passwords in plain text?
Anyone asking why Game were storing plain text passwords in the first place rather than salted hashes? Game should be ashamed that this data even existed on their servers to be taken. (google "hash salt")
