Gearbox has been sending out emails to its SHiFT members, informing them of a security breach impacting the service. It's recommended that all community members reset their passwords at their earliest convenience.
"Recently, a security issue known as Heartbleed was discovered. This issue impacted Amazon Web Services, the service that powers Gearbox’s SHiFT system," the email reads. "Gearbox has taken steps to correct systems exposed to the issue by patching affected software and rotating potentially compromised SSL certificates."
SHiFT is the service that enables fans of Gearbox's games to obtain bonus items using special codes, like the Gold Keys for special loot in Borderlands 2. You can reset your SHiFT account password here.
