Habbo security issue (user details leaked!)

[Michael]

A security issue in our system enabled some accounts' email address and date of birth to be exposed. We have resolved the issue and all accounts remain secure as this data alone does NOT allow access. If you would like to take extra precaution, please change the email associated with your account and be sure to keep your password safe. We take the safety and data security of our users very seriously and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

I wonder what this is to do with, because they haven't really explained themselves fully. What are your thoughts on this? This certainly isn't the first time this has happened.

Can confirm that it was any account but the person doing it would have had to look for you. All that matters is that you should all change your email as a matter of urgency. I changed mine yesterday when I heard. It was emails, date of birth and other information.

It's disgusting how they didn't make this the news story you first see when you log in although it's clearly the most important. They tried to hide it and put it third. Not ******* surprised as this is the 3rd time in 2 years that our information has been stolen through Sulake incompetence.

Edit: they have now made it the first thing you read when you log on. Should have been done to begin with but better late than never.

If someone was to get your email address, and changed your Habbo password. Would they still have to go through the security lock (the 2 questions)? I hope so anyway, but looks like I'll have to spend half an hour setting up a new email address just in case.

[Mr-Trainor]

It says my email isn't verified, so I click to send verification email, but the verification email goes to my old email address instead of my new one :S.
