BIGGEST<br />
MMO HACK<br />
Holder: Sony Online<br />
Entertainment (2011)<br />
Following a huge online hack attack<br />
on Sony in April 2011, the firm revealed<br />
that user details from 24.6 million<br />
accounts in its MMO arm, Sony Online<br />
Entertainment (SOE), may have<br />
been stolen. Games included in this<br />
were Everquest I & II, Free Realms,<br />
Vanguard, Clone Wars Adventures<br />
and DC Universe Online (right).<br />
Approximately 12,700 credit or debit<br />
card numbers and expiration dates,<br />
plus 10,700 direct debit records, could<br />
have been compromised as part of<br />
the hack, leading to SOE taking all of<br />
its MMOs offline for 12 days.<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
Where once “MMO” meant paying £10 a month to<br />
attack respawning orcs with a big sword, lately the<br />
genre has been splintering off into all kinds of weird<br />
and wonderful forms. Recent d<a title="Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2012 T5 page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/815186af?page=1"> </a>
