Sega has confirmed that hackers have stolen users' personal data from its Sega Pass system, which is designed to deliver community members information on the publisher’s upcoming games, data obtained from the system includes passwords, e-mail addresses and dates of birth.
Sega said : “As you may be aware, the SEGA Pass system has been offline since yesterday, Thursday 16 June. “SEGA Pass is going through some improvements so is currently unavailable for new members to join or existing members to modify their details including resetting passwords. We hope to be back up and running very soon. Thank you for your patience.”
Sega becomes the latest in a long line of games industry firms and services to be targeted by hackers since April’s PlayStation Network breach. In the past week alone, BioWare, Eve Online and Minecraft have all suffered from cyber attacks.
SEGA is also telling members that it has reset their passwords, that all access to SEGA Pass has been temporarily suspended and that Pass users should consider changing their passwords on other sites.
Sega said it discovered the breach on Friday and halted the service immediately to launch an investigation on the source of the information leak.
