TRION User Database Compromised – Change Your Details Now!

Posted 23 December 2011 by [Comments Off]

Important update here so take note. TRION has revealed that the user account database has been compromised by hackers and all player should change their information immediately.

We recently discovered that unauthorized intruders gained access to a Trion Worlds account database.

The database in question contained information including user names, encrypted passwords, dates of birth, email addresses, billing addresses, and the first and last four digits and expiration dates of customer credit cards.

There is no evidence, and we have no reason to believe, that full credit card information was accessed or compromised in any way. We have already taken further action to strengthen our systems, even as we, with external security experts, continue to research the extent of the unauthorized access.

You will notice on your next log in to our website that you will be required to change your password, and existing Mobile Authenticator users will also need to reconnect their Authenticator. When you log in, you will be prompted to provide a new password, security questions and answers, and be given the option to connect your account to our Mobile Authenticator to enhance your account’s security.

If you have used your username and password for other accounts, especially financial accounts or accounts with personal information, we suggest you change your passwords on those accounts as well. We recommend that you carefully review your statements, account activity, and credit reports to help protect the security of those accounts. If you need information on how to obtain your credit report or believe any such accounts have been breached, please see below for more information.

Normal service will resume on RIFT but it is important you read this page and make any changes required to protect your account and credit card information.

TRION to Escalate Faction War

Posted 6 December 2011 by [Comments Off]

If you’ve been more worried about Regulos and the dragons than the opposing faction then hang on until next year becuase TRION are going to ramp up the faction war some time around Rift’s first anniversary according to Gamesradar. If you’re enjoying Fae Yule then take note, this apparently the “calm before the storm”. Can’t wait :)
