There has apparently been a hacker attack on Dead by Daylight . The data of over 30,000 users has been stolen.
Anyone who has started Dead by Daylight today will be greeted by rather unusual news in the game. One of the tools of Dead by Daylight has been hacked and user data has been stolen. Several tens of thousands of data entries have been lost.
What kind of data was stolen? Although data theft is certainly a serious matter, only comparatively harmless data was stolen. This includes:
- The in-game username of the players
- The internal ID numbers of the players
- The platform used and the corresponding username
Security Update: BHVR’s database been compromised. from r/deadbydaylight
When did the attack take place? According to the news from Behaviour, the attack already occurred on March 13, just under a week ago. Hackers are said to have gained access to one of the “internal management tools” of Dead by Daylight.
Apparently, the situation has been analyzed since then, and the users have now been informed.
Should I worry about my account? Even though the theft of the data is annoying and the development team claims to be doing everything possible to prevent it from happening again, there is little reason to worry. The attacker can deduce very little from the stolen data.
With the data, it is not possible to identify users, access their accounts, or obtain any “financial or sensitive data”. So, there is no need for anyone to worry about their access data.
As an additional precaution, all players are advised to be on the lookout for “suspicious activities” on their accounts.
If you notice anything strange about your account – aside from the usual bugs that occasionally appear in Dead by Daylight, you should contact support.
