Games maker Konami has warned customers 35,252 accounts were hijacked over the past month, just days after Nintendo reported a massive breach of one of its websites.

The firm, which makes notable games including Pro Evolution Soccer and Metal Gear Solid, said the unauthorised logins occurred on its Konami ID portal site between 13 June and 7 July. Konami IDs are used to manage logins for all online services provided by the company.

The hackers had access to a range of personal data, including name, address, date of birth, telephone number and email address.

It claimed there were almost 4 million attempts to hack accounts during the period.

Passwords and IDs were leaked from an external service provider, the games company said.

“No changes to customers’ personal information, or unauthorised usage of paid services, have been detected,” Konami noted.

“Measures have been taken to ensure that IDs and passwords involved in these unauthorised logins can no longer be used to log in, and affected customers have been notified by email.”

Didn't want to start another thread, but the developers of Arma 3 were hacked. Just after reading it on Eurogamer.

maybe the hackers can send me my details. I remember the hell of signing up for this when Metal Gear Online came out. I forgot my info and wasn't allowed another account without paying
