The alert was sounded by Multiplay, by sending an email to its users, encouraging them to change their passwords due to an unauthorized access detected by the company on its systems. Multiplay has assured users that no payment information has been leaked as such information is not stored on its servers.
The email was confirmed by Multiplay on its twitter handle also and asked users to follow the instructions in the email.
Speculations are going around that the breach of the company's servers is the work of some gamers not happy with the recent acquisition of Multiplay, by retailer GAME.
The step has been seen as action to undermine this years gaming festival, Insomnia, hosted by Multiplay.
