This past Wednesday, hackers reportedly broke into the Eidos and Deus Ex: Human Revolution websites, erecting an "Owned by Chippy1337" banner and signing some names and aliases below (a possible red herring). In IRC chat logs, obtained by former Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs, the hackers also claim to have stolen the personal data of "at least" 80,000 users. So, first things first: If you've registered on an Eidos site or with the Deus Ex site, now's the time to change your password (we should all be used to this by now).

This is getting ridiculous now.
 
FFS, guys.

really?

edit: there's talk of it being a viral kind of thing, an ARG or something, if you will. since the game is about hacking into things to do basically what this is.

idunno. seems kinda in bad taste after the whole sony/psn thing.

It'd be nice for them to turn around and say it was some ad campaign. But even so, it's making light of the fact people have had their info stolen of late.

but yeah, shame on them.
