Hacker breaks into APB: Reloaded CM’s account, goes on minor crime spree

APB: Reloaded’s community manager learned the hard way about the importance of account security, as her account was hacked over the weekend.

“Yes, my forum/game account was compromised and they thought it would be fun to create havoc,” CM Tiggs said. “We’ve now got it secured and I cleaned up the small mess that they made. Too bad they’re not very smart, because I do know who it was. They were not able to see any account information for players so don’t worry. It is always wise to change your passwords often.”

While the unnamed player had control of her account, he or she made numerous racist comments and forum posts while posting links to a hacker website.
