Yeah, source code and consumer data are different things, but you never know if they did find some, so it's best to veer on the safe side.- logionX4 years agoSeasoned AceIt's not customer data, it's the source code for the engines, which could lead to people more easily creating hacks for those engines in the future. Like people that cheat in online multiplayer matches.
Doesn't hurt to change your log in anyway, better safe than sorry. - As others said, this doesn't look like customer log in data, but anyways, better safe then sorry.
It's always a good idea to use 2 factor authentication. - logionX4 years agoSeasoned Ace*deleted
- ShopGirl984 years agoSeasoned AceThank you for sharing @simgirl1010
I agree with what others have said about changing passwords just incase (in fact, I think regularly changing passwords is a good habit anyway!)
Could someone please help me, I'm not very technical-minded. I know what purpose someone would have for stealing customer data, but why would someone want source code? Would someone please explain to me, I'm curious. - logionX4 years agoSeasoned Ace

When it comes to games, I'm not sure.
The people that stole the code will probably sell it on the black market, that's what happened to CDPR's stolen source code (for Witcher and Cyberpunk).
I think the things that EA and CDPR should worry about are potential vulnerabilities in the code which people could use to create programs that could be used for cheating or other things. I'm assuming that when you sell a game, it's pretty locked so people can't modify everything in it, maybe with encrypted files. Now EA and CDPR have to make sure that can't be exploited in their games.
This is why it's important that you have an antivirus software on your computer for example (at least for PC) because that program checks to make sure that your system files don't change or another file is causing a program to do something it shouldn't. - crocobaura4 years agoLegendWho pays 28 million USD just to be able to hack some games? Must be really important to win at FIFA or something.
