New security breach?

I received a security warning this morning that my GameSalad password/account details have been found on the darkweb. After checking...the warning was correct.

My latest GS password, that I had changed after the last GS security breach happened, was indeed out there.... and listed as coming from Gamesalad.

I've now changed it again. But this needs to be sorted out....

So I would advise everyone to change their password too, and await GameSalads input on the matter...

    We have received no notifications about a breach and after a quick examination we've seen no sign of a breach. We're using bcrypt to hash the passwords, which is much safer and relatively impossible to break.

    We'll continue to look into it, but my current guess are:

    1) You've been fished, i.e. you were directed to a site that looked like the GS site but wasn't actually the site and you logged in.

    2) You've used the same password on another site that was breached and they matched passwords with this site.

    Thank you for letting us know about this and we'll keep looking into it.
