One more reason I will never use DRM if I have the choice. This is just inexcusable to have to worry about this in gaming. From losing connection with the almighty server to now getting my computer hacked. Truly, this is all worth it to keep those evil pirates (who hacked these games anyway) out of the games. >=|
Just a warning for you guys. Thanks to Billybob476 for the link on twitter.

More in-depth article on it, plus updates. It..."seems" to be patched, but we have no real confirmation at this point whether it is or not. Be warned.
Further Update: Ubisoft acknowledges the problem and believes the patch they just pushed out should address the problem. Why Ubisoft needs a browser plugin is unknown at this time. No apology is forthcoming either. Still, be wary.
