Canadian import website Videogamesplus.ca has been hacked, with the personal information of 21,000 users leaked onto the internet.
Spotted by random_dave on our forums, customer details including names, phone numbers, dates of birth and encrypted passwords were uploaded to the Pastebin website. A link to the entire database has since been removed by download site Rapidshare.
We've sought confirmation from Videogamesplus, but in the meantime advise account holders to change their passwords as a precaution.

Not really that much point in changing your passwords; they are stored on the site's cookies in plain text and are sent in the headers over http.
Also, VG+ had the customer dump file freely accessible on their own web server for anyone with a link.
I would change your passwords if you've re-used them on other websites though.
