LUXEMBOURG -- Manwin, parent company of Digital Playground, has issued a 
statement regarding the alleged security breach of the production 
company's flagship website, DigitalPlayground.com.

"Due to an alleged security breach, Manwin elected to temporarily shut 
down Digital Playground, and related websites, on March 5, 2012," the 
statement read. "Manwin officially took over Digital Playground and 
related assets on March 1, 2012, and according to the allegations, the 
potential breach may have occurred prior to that date.

"The safeguard and non-disclosure of private and confidential information 
is always a priority at our company, and management is supervising all 
aspects of this situation. In addition, our customer service department 
has been in contact with Digital Playground members to inform them of the 
next steps.

"Customers will not be billed while the site is inactive, and have been 
offered free access to a Manwin-owned property of their choice during this 
time period."
