UltimatePay accounts might be affected as well. Just a heads up if anyone had the misfortune having to use that terrible service.

Oh geez... Do we know if there's any plans on changing how payment works in ARR? ^^;

They've already introduced alternative methods of paying, so its not a big deal. However, some people were forced to pay using this service before that, so it might be safe to reset your password with them.

From what I heard it was definitely fresh children or babies kittens.

On second thought, it might have been fresh baby seals.

Eh this works fine. It is unfortunate though but it does look like hackings are starting up once again.

Actually, it wasn't a terrible service. It worked perfectly and easily for me, personally. Are you sure you're not talking about click and buy, which actually IS terrible? By the way, VISA is the company that owns PlaySPan. You can be sure they're going to take this seriously.

Nobody has passwords with playspan if their only contact with them was through the SE Account system. I think some of you are confusing them with Click and buy.

For those who don't like clicking links:

Some MMORPGs have been affected by a security breach at PlaySpan. User IDs, encrypted passwords, and email addresses for the players of multiple unconfirmed MMOs have been compromised, according to Develop.

Upon detecting the breach, PlaySpan locked all accounts and closed the PlaySpan Marketplace. The company is asking users to reset their passwords while the firm investigates the hack; it also encourages folks urges folks to reset passwords on other websites as a precaution.

UltimatePay was at least very flexible with payment methods, Paypal, and that giftcard thing could be used with them

Yes, unfortunately due to my banks situation with charging international fees I had to use Ultimatepay.. luckily for me I was using a rechargable card that wasnt linked to a large amount of money

I pay with freshly clubbed baby seals, doesn't everyone?
