    Bioware, a gaming company known for series such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age have recently been hacked. Their server linked to their series, Neverwinters Nights was hit, but thankfully no secure details such as credit cards have been comprimised. Resetting passwords is required on most EA products now.

    Here's the article

    I am severly pissed by this now. Hacking is becoming so damn frequent it's not even surprising to hear about it anymore. That's not a good thing, to know that a crime happens so often that we are use to it. Hacking groups are becoming such a pest, can't we hack them back?

    Yeah, I swear I've heard so many hacking stories over the last few months! It was never this bad. Well luckily no horrible damage was done, but I really hope they can sort the problem out, hackers have obviously become more skilled.

    If only we could hack them back, but that would defeat the point of hacking being wrong.

    Well people getting into security holes is a pretty frequent event. Moreso for banks and government-owned facilities. It just seems that after the PSN thing, everyone's going to be keen to milk the stories for what they're worth. Kinda makes it hard for people to get any real facts though.

    Depends. There are plenty of white-hat hackers out there that could use various legal ways to trace any suspicious activities to find a lead. Although hackers are like looters, everyone just lays low until that one person decides to smash open a shop. Then everyone starts going crazy and the situation becomes harder to control.

    This whole Hacking ordeal is really getting out of hand. Hopefully someone can catch the group or groups responsible. It would be hard though, because, unlike criminals who commit physical crimes like robbery or murder, these hackers could be spread worldwide. Let's hope it's not as complicated as I'm making it out to be, though.

    This sounds kinda harsh, but at least other people other than Sony're getting hacked. Maybe people'll stop making jokes now and do somehting ...
