Dear Member,

We recently found that one of our Web sites was exploited to gain unauthorized access to some of our online systems. We instantly took steps to close off this access, investigate the incident and begin restoring the integrity of any compromised systems.

During this process, we learned that data had been illegally accessed from our account database, including user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. Please note that no personal payment information is stored with Ubisoft, meaning your debit/credit card information was safe from this intrusion.

As a result, we are recommending that you change the password for your account

I don't use or buy Ubisoft any more after a complete fiasco with HOMMVI.

The term incompetent fuckers who hate their customers comes to mind  :mad:

They seem to have learned their lesson, though. Newer titles (like Blood Dragon) don't require log in to their uPlay anymore (Driver and Anno still do, unfortunately; it hasn't been patched out of the old titles).
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I don't even remember if I have an Ubisoft account. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Uplay is a serious, useless pain in the ass.

And I don't remember my old password, so having to change it puts me at risk of using the same old I used before  <_<

To be honest, I don't even remember why I have a uplay account. And yes, agree that it is obnoxious.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Uplay is the devil. I had assassin's creed 2 installed  awhile ago and it ran fine. A few weeks back I decide  to finally finish it...and it shout  at me that it has to update first. It installs this thing which means I always have  to have   the internet on to play and will randomly close the game sometimes. .
Finished ac2now. Will stick to ps3 versions in future
