It was bound to happen. I just received an email from Bioware noticing of an attack in both Bioware and Electronic Arts servers that might have compromised sensitive data. I guess some news will be officially posted on this site, but in the meantime just haul ass and change your passwords ASAP just to be safe.
Copying the email in spoiler form. Don't know if it's legitimate, but if it passed the spam filters would be wise to give it a chance.

We recently learned that hackers gained unauthorized access to the decade-old BioWare server system supporting the Neverwinter Nights forums. We immediately took appropriate steps to protect our consumers? data and launched a thorough ongoing evaluation of the breach. We have determined that no credit card data was compromised from the servers, nor did we ever have or store sensitive data like social security numbers. Our investigation shows that information such as user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, mailing addresses, names, phone numbers, CD keys and birth dates from these forum accounts on the system may have been compromised, as well as other information (if any) that you may have associated with your EA Account. In an abundance of caution, we have changed your password to ensure account security.
