A group of Russian hackers managed to access an exploit in Ubisoft’s Uplay game-launching service, getting free access to all of the games online.
The exploit allows users to trick the system to thinking that the game had already been purchased, then allowing users to download the game with no cost or DRM.
The upcoming standalone expansion for Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, was among the games that were able to be exploited.
Screenshots of the game being downloaded had even been captured.
Ubisoft has responded, saying that no personal data is at risk.
“We are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it quickly. No personal information was compromised. Uplay’s PC download service will be unavailable until the problem is fixed, however all other Uplay services remain available.”
