Lord of the Rings Online MMO News, Guides, and Features at Ten Ton Hammer

Turbine has notified players via email they are concerned that a third-party may have attempted to access forum account information following last week’s discovery of a security issue with The Lord of the Rings Online’s web application. While the message indicates that no details appear to have been compromised, Turbine is again urging players to change their passwords as a precaution.
