A hacker claims to have stolen information from Neopets, the long-running virtual pet website, affecting 69 million users of the service.<\/p>\n
The hack was confirmed by posts from the official Neopets Twitter and Instagram accounts on July 20th, with a tweet informing the public that the company \u201crecently became aware that customer data may have been stolen\u201d and had hired a forensic firm to investigate. The social media posts did not give further information about the scope of the hack but suggested that all site users change their passwords as a precaution.<\/p>\n
\nNeopets recently became aware that customer data may have been stolen. We immediately launched an investigation assisted by a leading forensics firm. We are also engaging law enforcement and enhancing the protections for our systems and our user data. (1\/3)<\/p>\n
