DayZ Usernames, Emails, and Passwords Exposed

Hackers have breached the DayZ Forums.

DayZ's forums have reportedly been compromised, developer Bohemia notified forum members. The "security incident" took place recently and hackers were able to access and download all usernames, emails, and passwords from the game's forums.

Bohemia's email revealed that the passwords were not stored in a plain text format, but rather "in a more secure form." Still the developer encourages you to change your password.

"We would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused," Bohemia said.

As prevention, the developer will replace DayZ's existing IPBoards login system with Bohemia's main Bohemia Account system "within the next two weeks."

"As Bohemia Account is a separate custom-built service currently used by Bohemia Interactive Forums and Store, it offers much better security and its use should prevent similar incidents going forward," it said.

"We ask for your patience over the next few days and weeks as we implement this and other security overhauls, as there are likely to be service interruptions and forum unavailability from time to time. In particular, the forums will be down until migration to the Bohemia Account is complete. We will keep you up to date on vital info and scheduled down-time on the site itself and via our Twitter."
