UK retailer GAME has denied earlier reports claiming its website had been hacked and that both email addresses and passwords of registered users had been published online.

Softpedia claimed hackers had gained access to usernames, email addresses and passwords from the UK retailer and Northern Tasmanian site Catalyst Gaming. We’re not too sure what the current situation is regarding the latter, but GAME has denied that its site has suffered.

"We have thoroughly investigated the hacking claims made today by the website Pastebin, and can confirm that they are entirely false,” said Anna-Marie Mason, a spokesperson for the retailer, in a statement to SPOnG. “The published email addresses are not registered users of GAME.co.uk, and there has been no breach of our database security.

"At GAME we guard our customers' details very carefully. We would like to assure all our customers that their details are well protected, and advise anyone who has any questions to contact our customer services team via the website, our Facebook page or Twitter account."

Many registered users had updated their passwords before the above statement emerged.
