Just a heads up for anyone that's used videogamesplus.ca before, a guy at work got tipped off they were hacked and the customer database has been leaked on pastebin and we've confirmed at least four of us at work were exposed.
The details include name, phone number, d.o.b. and encrypted password, so if you have an account with them it would probably be wise to go and change your password

Cheers. Password changed
Thanks for this, Dave. Just putting a story together and will see what I can find out from VG+.
Changed my password too, amazingly I had Yoshi's Island DS in my shopping cart when I logged in, must have been there for years now.
Seems random_dave made VG247.com news

How long before everyone has everyone else's details?
I got an email about this from the site, didn't anyone else? I've changed my password (at least, I think I have, it's been so long since I even used VG+) but I'm not too worried; all the details I've got on that site are years out of date.
The worst they can do to me is bother the people currently living in what used to be my parents' house.

Waste of time changing your password on the VG+ site - it's still wide open, and your passwords are stored in plain text in the site cookies which get sent over http in the headers.
Change any re-use though.
