Their website is on maintenance and uPlay won't load for me. I'm pretty sure I used a different password on those two than anywhere else, just for this reason, plus I have virtually no games on uPlay, so meh. Thanks for the heads up though!

Got an email from them with a link to setting a new password that seems to work while the site is still down. Not 100% certain I'd trust email links through but the address and certificate seem legit.
Will change when site's back up anyway,
uplay site working again... sort of

I wouldn't call that a fail. You can't prevent a hack. You can only reduce the usefulness of the stolen data by collecting the least possible amount and also encrypting it, which Ubisoft obviously did (at least they're saying that)

Yeah, but in the modern world of internet "wahh" bitching, anything negative that happens to a company, no matter how much they did to prevent it or even if it's actually their fault or not, is a fail by that company, somehow.

Thankfully they (at Ubisoft) acted fast, at least with the email notifications, i managed to change the password without a hassle.

Can't change it, 'ubi.com is currently under maintenance.' haha.

I thought so. Well done! Now if only I remembered what password I used there...

That's what I'm trying to do. Tried both links for changing pass now and neither have changed my uplay pass so far. Giving it a few minutes before try again.
[EDIT] took 4 attempts, now successfully changed and working. Thanks for the link Alshadur

Managed to get in and change my PW, and subsequently loaded Uplay (which wouldn't load until I gave it the new PW, so yeah, the threat was legit). However, I'm missing a bunch of games now. Looks like the missing items are ones I manually activated over the last month or two. Frustratingly, though, I can't remember which ones they were offhand to try and put them back in. Sigh (And I generally don't retain keys for games that have been activated.)

Since the only time I've ever accessed uPlay is through Steam, am I actually at any threat? All the games should be tied to my account, no? I don't even remember putting in a password for it.

Damn. I'll change it as soon as I gather enough energies to get up of this comfy sofa
