\nLogin information of over 200 million users of the popular mobile games \u201cWords With Friends\u201d and \u201cDraw Something\u201d was exposed in a recent data breach.<\/p>\n
The information includes names, email addresses and login IDs, but game developer Zynga said in a news release last month that financial information was not included.<\/p>\n
A hacker who calls him or herself Gnosticplayers admitted to stealing data from more than 218 million user accounts, citing a report published Sunday by Hacker News. The report says the hacker accessed a database of Android and iOS users who installed the game before September 2.<\/p>\n
Zynga said in its September release they were taking steps to protect users\u2019 accounts. They said they have involved third-party forensics firms and law enforcement in their investigation.<\/p>\n
The company is advising its users to change their passwords and has provided a website with information about the breach.<\/p>\n
Zynga is one of the most popular mobile gaming companies in the world, with hits including \u201cWords With Friends,\u201d \u201cDraw Something,\u201d \u201cFarmVille\u201d and \u201cMafia Wars.\u201d
