You might have heard this already, either via email or somewhere else on the web, but in case you haven’t: Ubisoft have had one of their websites exploited, allowing people to gain access to the backend of their online systems.
This means certain people have gained access to user names, email addresses and encrypted versions of the passwords stored. Fortunately, no personal payment information was compromised, so your card information will be safe.
Nonetheless, if you have accounts which use the same (or a similar) password in combination with the email address or UPlay username, then it’s a really good idea to change them. I don’t think any of my ones use the same combination, thankfully, though I’ve changed my Ubisoft password as instructed to be safe.
They have released a message and FAQ on their website, along with a forum thread to ask any questions. Ubi.com is currently down due to this attack.
Let us know if you have been affected by this hack in any way.

I got the email around 6ish and clicked the link which took me to the website to change my password and then it was successful but the web is under maintenance.

Got the email and reset, not that I ever used my account
