The leak contained 1.218.229 emails and plain text password of Origin users.

“Origin has been breached by #UGLegion,” the hackers said. “-37MB’s of ORIGIN Users; – 1.2million in total.”

Or particular significance is that the Origin client also has a payment section that could easily be populated with payment details.

The credit card payment section usually contains credit card numbers, credit card security code (CSC) or credit card verification value (CVV), expiration dates, and names, addresses and phone numbers.

It can also contain a linked PayPal account for payment processing.

In a separate development the UGLegion hackers group also announced a leak of close to a million emails that are linked to Facebook.

“Facebook has been deemed, Greedy,” the hackers said. “1million emails – breached from Facebook.”

This may be the biggest leak that Electronic Arts has suffered since launching the Origin Platform in June, 2011.
