Ubisoft has announced a data breach after unknown actors targeted its popular video game franchise, Just Dance.
The games developer confirmed that customer information may have been accessed after attackers took advantage of a “misconfiguration” to steal data.
A statement from Ubisoft said that the breach was limited to ‘technical identifiers’ including GamerTags, profile IDs, and device IDs, as well as recordings of Just Dance videos that were uploaded to be shared publicly with the in-game community and/or on social media profiles.
It adds: “This incident was the result of a misconfiguration, that once identified, was quickly fixed, but made it possible for unauthorized individuals to access and possibly copy some personal player data.
