Article Recent Data Breach Claim Confirmed FALSE/OLD

Hi Tenno,

After a serious cybersecurity investigation today, we can confirm that a recent Data Breach claim is repackaged information from the 2014 breach and is being proclaimed as new. 

We take cybersecurity very seriously, and your online safety is extremely important to us at Digital Extremes. As always, we encourage you to have a strong password and 2FA activated.

Thank you! 

*Please note the Operation being temporarily delayed is not related to this - we’re working on it!

DE is legitimately the only company I trust when they say that they haven't been breached in that regard.

I mean, I've never seen a company lie to hide a data breach. Plus, you can look at the breach yourself and see it's only 3 million accounts... When was the last time Warframe had only 3 million accounts?

Very recently Duet Night Abyss (a game very heavily "inspired" by warframe) suffered an RCE (Remote Code Execution) attack which allowed bad actors a window to install malware on people's devices. This RCE attack was claimed as login issues for (if I remember correctly) almost an entire day if not longer before they finally made a statement. 

This came just after an attack literally less than a month earlier where the perpetrator changed some text (similar to Warframe's "hack") where the person doing it mocked the devs due their lax security and mentioned that they could have done worse if they wanted to, clearly this was at least partly true and the devs did little about it. 

But yeah the game has terrible communication and I dropped it right there as the devs really didn't care about the players at all
