I just got an Email from SEGA Pass
______________________________

Dear SEGA,

As you may be aware, the SEGA Pass system has been offline since yesterday, Thursday 16 June.

Over the last 24 hours we have identified that unauthorised entry was gained to our SEGA Pass database.

We immediately took the appropriate action to protect our consumers’ data and isolate the location of the breach. We have launched an investigation into the extent of the breach of our public systems.

We have identified that a subset of SEGA Pass members emails addresses, dates of birth and encrypted passwords were obtained. To stress, none of the passwords obtained were stored in plain text.

Please note that no personal payment information was stored by SEGA as we use external payment providers, meaning your payment details were not at risk from this intrusion.

If you use the same login information for other websites and/or services as you do for SEGA Pass, you should change that information immediately.

We have also reset your password and all access to SEGA Pass has been temporarily suspended.

Additionally we recommend you please take extra caution if you should receive suspicious emails that ask for personal or sensitive information.

Therefore please do not attempt to login to SEGA Pass at present, we will communicate when the service becomes available.

We sincerely apologise for this incident and regret any inconvenience caused.

We are contacting all our members with these recommendations.

If you have any further questions please contact SEGA customer support on csescalations@sega.com

Ugh, I had an account there >_>


What was the point of hacking SEGA? just to get a few Email adresses to sell to spammers? :P
By the way, I've noticed I'm getting more spam than usual lately. I think I already have like 13-17 Emails in my junk box.

THEY DARE HACK OUR LORD SEGA!? These fools have just made their worst enemies, we Sega Fanboys have stood the test of time unmovable even when our emperor lost it's castle we did not stagger, now these fools think we will be passive to their attack? Nay! We will find them and do what we did to the sonic franchise to them!

This is going to drag on forever isn't it?

so hacking gaming companies is cool thing to do these days.

For bragging rights maybe? Hackings seem to happen like everyday I swear...

Hackers................. to be this bad takes very little time.

Leave my beloved Sega alone you scumbags.

I don't see the purpose in all this hacking, clearly it is just disrupting the gamer not just the developer.

lol, your avatar matches the tone of your post perfectly

OT: when will this ever end...-_-

Probably when people stop giving them too much attention?
