News:: 'Witcher' developer forum hack exposed 1.8 million gamers

If you're a big enough The Witcher fan to have joined CD Projekt Red's official forums, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise. Members signed up to Have I Been Pwned have received emails warning them of a reported hack in March 2016 that compromised over 1.8 million forum accounts. Passwords were encrypted, thankfully, but you're encouraged to change your login just in case. The issue isn't so much the actual threat as the lack of notifications -- for many, this is the first sign that something went horribly wrong.
