Cyber attacks are one of the unfortunate realities of doing business today. We recently discovered that certain player account information may have been illegally accessed by outside hackers. An investigation was immediately commenced, leading third-party forensics firms were retained to assist, and we have contacted law enforcement.

While the investigation is ongoing, we do not believe any financial information was accessed. However, we have identified account login information for certain players of Draw Something and Words With Friends that may have been accessed. As a precaution, we have taken steps to protect these users' accounts from invalid logins. We plan to further notify players as the investigation proceeds.

The security of our player data is extremely important to us. We are working hard to address this matter and remain committed to supporting our community. Additional information is available on our Player Support page.

As it relates to our business outlook, we are reaffirming our Third Quarter and Full-Year 2019 guidance and financial outlook as communicated in our Q2 2019 Quarterly Earnings Letter on July 31, 2019.
