Another security announcement, if you have or had an account in the Battlefield Heroes Beta and used a password you used elsewhere you need to change that password now. All 550k accounts were just leaked, various sites I help moderate have already lost quite a few accounts to this leak. You have been warned.

Just some general security advice in this blog. Recently lots of quite large websites have been hacked, we use the best encryption we can on our account database but nothing is totally secure. We would highly recommend you use different passwords for each website, many Sony users have found their facebook / paypal / ebay accounts hacked due to password re-use.

We would also recommend you take advantage of our added support for non-alphanumeric characters in passwords and devise the longest passwords you can remember containing random letters, numbers and capitalization.

Another good idea is to regularly empty your inbox of automated messages that way if your email account is compromised the hackers will not know where you have other accounts available. At the end of the day all the security in the world we can put in place is only as secure as the password you choose.
