3 million digital copies of Dirt 3 have been accessed after codes for the popular racing title were stole from a third party website involved in a promotion with AMD graphics cards.
The list of codes was then distributed.
"This past weekend, activation keys associated with free Dirt 3 game vouchers shipping with select AMD products were compromised," read AMD's official website.
"These activation keys were hosted on a third party fulfilment agency website, www.AMD4u.com, and did not reside on AMD's website. Neither the AMD nor Codemasters servers were involved."
"We are working closely with Steam, Codemasters, and our fulfilment agency to address the situation. AMD will continue to honour all valid game vouchers, however the current situation may result in a short delay before the vouchers can be redeemed."
