The online game store “Origin” of the world famous video game maker Electronic Arts (EA) has been hacked. The security of the personal information of all 10 million subscribers to the service is now at risk. Another scary aspect of the recent attack is that it redirects links to almost all games on the site to malicious software folders / servers, so researchers warn that anyone who clicks on the game may be hacked.

The system that exchanges links between users and servers during download and installation of software in the Origin Store has already detected errors. However, it is not yet clear from which loophole the hackers attacked. EA has started an investigation into the whole matter.

As you may know, the “EA Powered Origin” store, launched in 2011, is essentially a distribution system that allows shoppers to purchase and discuss video games online.

From the very beginning, after the technical error in its service was caught. Security experts have claimed that the accident happened easily as there was no option to activate any kind of block or verification system in the system after entering incorrect credentials several times in a row in the server of the store.

Electronic Arts has promised to take appropriate action by investigating the cause of the recent attack.

In any case, for security reasons, it is better not to use the service for the time being by changing the password of the original account. What did you say?
