Clash Royale Forums Hacked but Game Accounts Still Secure

Supercell, the company behind the super-popular mobile game Clash Royale, suffered a breach in September that might have exposed its users.

A community manager announced on the firm’s forums that hackers managed to breach the website with a vulnerability last fall, but while they indeed gained access to user accounts, game accounts were still secure. Emails and encrypted passwords were exposed and no other data was stolen.

“We're currently looking into report that a vulnerability allowed third party hackers to gain illegal access to some forum user information, including a number of emails and encrypted passwords. Our preliminary investigation suggests that the breach happened in September 2016 and it has since been fixed,” the parent company said.
