The published email addresses are not registered users of GAME.co.uk, and there has been no breach of our database security," says Game's Anna-Marie Mason on MCV . "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."

It's not known whether they also got their hands on any payment information but Game are due to release a statement shortly. Tasmanian site, Catalyst-Gaming, was also hacked, with similar results.
