tl;dr for you

If you have used the same password for ToS with other online things, change them just in case. Outside of that, no credit card information was stored and the information that could be gleamed was limited.
toz means fart in Arabic.

Just thought everyone should know.

Yup, The hackers sold our email address's and passwords to scammers. They are professional criminals, they arent interested in your ToS accounts, they are interested in stealing money (from broke-ass people who can hardly afford $5 to play an online game). If your email was breached, because you used the same password there, as here, change your email password, and any passwords to anything in your emails... such as PayPal, bank accounts, Ebay accounts etc. Or better yet, in the future, use a junk email for gaming log ins, and a separate email for any financial/personal info
