re: SoE hacked

Initial indication are that in April of 2011, SOE was the victim of a cyber attack. Items that may have been compromised Name, Address, email, gender, birthdate, phone, login, hashed password.
When I went to everquest.com, I was re-directed to www.soe.com/securityupdate
They have shut down all games while they investigate the issues. Once that is complete, they will probably re-start the games.
If you live/play in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, or Spain, there is also an indication that your credit card info may have been obtained. All indications point to an outdated 2007 database, and there are no indication this would include US credit card info.
It looks like the individual gamers are no longer the only targets in the gaming world now, but has expanded to include gaming companies.
