Supercell, which created Clash of Clans and other games such as Clash Royale, Boom Beach and Hay Day, has revealed that an attack on its member forums leaked user details online.
Over a million user accounts were compromised in the breach, Motherboard reported, with usernames, email addresses, IP addresses and hashed passwords among the leaked information passed on by breach notification site LeakBase.
Supercell confirmed that it had suffered a breach, which apparently occurred back in September 2016, and urged users to change their passwords immediately.
The company told Motherboard that, “Our preliminary investigation suggests that the breach happened in September 2016 and it has since been fixed.”
In a statement posted on its user forums, Supercell added, “We take any such breaches very seriously and we follow very strict policies when it comes to security. Please note that this breach only affects our Forum service. Game accounts have not been affected.”
