Nokia shuts down dev network following hack

Nokia has closed down its developer network due to an illicit data breach attack on its systems.

Sensitive details of developers from within the network have been accessed, Nokia said. Likely compromised data includes user email addresses and, in less regularity, dates of birth and other personal data such as Skype details.

The developer network has been shut down in response to the breach.

Nokia said the unauthorised access occurred by exploiting a vulnerability in the bulletin board software that allowed an SQL Injection attack”.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
