Hackers crack Ubisoft's uPlay security, able to download games for free

[dkamm65]

"A band of Russian hackers have broken through the security on Ubisoft's PC games launcher uPlay, allowing them free access to the publisher's games.

The software hack is able to trick uPlay into thinking users already own a particular game, making it available to download at no cost and with no DRM.

Ubisoft's unannounced shooter Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is apparently lying on Ubisoft's servers, available to download to those who have the exploit.

Over half an hour of Blood Dragon footage was posted on YouTube today - and was quickly being pulled down by Ubisoft - seemingly evidence that the exploit works and is being used to play the unreleased game.

Gameranx published an image of the game being downloaded and claimed that the title is already being passed around a number of torrent sites."

Because piracy is very high in Russia, there is no console or retail distribution of games in that place at all, because of the high piracy. People either use Steam/Origin or pirate their games.

I guess those hackers were Russian to play Blood Dragon

Blood Dragon doesn't look good compared to the actual Far Cry 3. :/

I've been wanting to make renders of BioShock Infinite models, so I'm waiting on this guy who develops a program that can do that to update it for the game. He's been very busy lately, so he's taking a bit to do this.

Someone pointed out three things: He's Russian. His program extracts models and textures from games. And he just got a job at Ubisoft.
