Magic the Gathering and MTG Arena users urged to change passwords following data breach
The creators of Magic the Gathering have contacted MTG Arena and Magic Online players following a data breach that leaked users' names, email addresses, and passwords.
In an email sent to those affected by the incident, Wizards of the Coast explained that an internal database from a "decommissioned version of the WotC login" was accidentally "made accessible" online. While the incident has reportedly been described as isolated and WotC has no reason to believe "that any malicious use has been made of the data", information was nevertheless obtained outside the company.
Furthermore, it's reported no payment or financial information was at risk, and passwords were stored securely in an encrypted form, so it's unlikely they can be extracted for malicious purposes.
