If you're a fan of German Free-to-Play games, you'll probably want to ratchet up security for your own passwords and email addresses now that Gamigo has been hacked.  According to Forbes 11 million passwords and over 8 million email addresses were pulled from the site's database and listed on hacker forums.  While the information was encrypted, hackers have since gone to work trying to decipher the encryption entirely.  

So if you were a Gamigo user what can you do?  Head on over to PwnedList and see if your information is up on the site. The trouble with a breach of this magnitude is that people so very often will reuse passwords, so it's important that if you were playing any Gamigo games that you change the passwords to your other accounts immediately just in case.  Gamigo was hacked before back in March, and as a result forced a password reset on all their accounts, so this most recent breach probably won't give hackers access to the game accounts themselves.   

The sad thing is that hackers are basically attacking their own kind, the fringe parts of society that support technology.  Rather than focusing their energies elsewhere outside their own demographic, they prefer to hack gamers.  I get that it's an ego thing, but I really feel that it's a waste of everyone's time.  But then again, that's what crime is all about.
