Last week Kotaku reported that BioWare was hacked. The company has been active on company forums and is sending out emails today to BioWare account holders. More info here. [Thanks to all who sent this in!]
BioWare Sending Out Hack Emails (Maybe You Got One!)

Microsoft Is Working On An Xbox One Without A Disc Drive: Report
While Australia may fumble about in the digital dark ages, setting fire to forward-thinking broadband policy as if it were an onion-scoffing heretic, online connectivity in general has come a long way in the last five years, usurping industries once dominated by the physical. Why rent movies when there's Netflix? Why leave the house for a new game when Steam exists? It should come as no surprise, then, that Microsoft wants to release a new model of the Xbox One, sans disc drive.
Maybe Fallout 76 Isn't Such A Bad Fallout To Begin With
I have a confession: I've never played a Fallout game, at least none of the modern ones. It's not a deliberate hole in my gaming backlog, but just one that grew out of timing and circumstance. And given that I'm engaged to a devoted Fallout fan, who probably would have finished Fallout 4 if she didn't do something as silly as get into a relationship with me, it seemed like a good time to venture into the wasteland.
So over the weekend, I've been familiarising myself with Fallout 76. It's left me wondering why I didn't play Fallout 3 or New Vegas sooner, but it's also reminded me of MMOs and the parts I like about those so much.

I got one. I didn't know I had a Bioware account, though, and assumed it was itself a scam...
Maybe it was real.
yep i got one to!
So the emails are hacks? the title is a bit confusing
Ok answer is in link: We are emailing all potentially affected users. If you do not receive an email from us, then we have no reason to believe that your information was potentially affected.
It's bizarre that I've recieved one when it says they're contacting those potentially affected from a hack on a Neverwinter Nights server and my BioWare account was only ever created for Dragon Age...
That is the same with me. I have never played Neverwinter nights... from what I can remember, only Mass Effect and Dragon Age
I got one and thought it was fake, but the link pointed to a legitimate Bioware/EA server, so yep, I changed my password.
Email is not a hack, the hack was done on an old server apparently dating back to Neverwinter Nights days (ptp) for me.
I got one too! HOORAY.
Yep I got one and took action as they suggested. Thanks Bioware.
Received email. Was unsure if it was legit.
Changed pw via direct website rather than link.
Problem solvered.
I got one. Where's my compensation for putting my personal data at risk?
Get a grip.
Where is my compensation for being on the same planet as you?
There are some RISKS in life, deal with it.

Got one via my ME/ME2 account. Almost seems like an excuse to tell me about Origin more than anything...
