Bohemia Interactive has revealed that it has been hacked.
The games developer revealed that usernames, emails and encrypted passwords were among the information stolen. It has however stressed that credit card details were not stolen.
In an email to its customers, the developer said that one of its websites had suffered “an illegal attempt” to access information.
The company is best known as the original developer of Operation Flashpoint. It is currently working on zombie survival MMO DayZ.
In a statement to customers, the company wrote: "We have unfortunately discovered that an illegal attempt has been made to access certain of our online websites, leading to the download of a database containing usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords.
"Please note due to the encryption of the passwords it is very unlikely that anything nefarious can be done with this information.
"We would like to reassure everyone that no other information such as credit card details is stored by us and thus was not at any risk from this illegal breach.
“As a precaution we are resetting the passwords of all users which means you will be unable to log into any of our websites/forums until your password is changed.”
The attack is the second of its kind in as many weeks against a major gaming company.
Just over a week ago, Ubisoft was forced to admit hackers had exploited a vulnerability in an unnamed website.
