Chaosgroup.com security breach?

[Codi]

Hello, we got an email warning us that there has been a security breach on the chaosgroup.com website and we should reset our password through a supplied link. Is this a legit mail?

Just want to be sure it isn't a phishing attempt.

I changed mine manually not by following the link provided in the email. I did look at the URL though and it seems legitimate, however out of habit I never click on email links that are anything to do with account info.

They have a note about it on their homepage:
http://www.chaosgroup.com/

A good idea to change your password.

I take it that this is for the chaosgroup site, and not forum access?

Urrgh this is annoying, we only just recently reset all our passwords from the Adobe hack a few months back.

Yep, I guess it's safer this way, thanks.

Did not see the note, guess it's for real then

It is a legitimate email, yes. You will need to create a new password to log in on our website. Apologies for the inconvenience!
