Sega confirms 1.3m Sega Pass customers’ details “obtained”
No financial data was stored on the site.
The firm added: “We express our sincerest apologies to our customers for the inconvenience and concern caused by this matter. Sega Pass is the service used to provide information about our new products to registered members and does not hold any customer financial information.
“After the unauthorized entry was identified, we immediately stopped the SEGA Pass service and took emergency action to prevent further damage. This action included immediately contacting all our registered SEGA Pass users. We are now fully investigating the cause of the incident.”
Sega said it will “immediately report through the website of Sega Europe should there be any further developments regarding this issue.”
The company will “strengthen network security as a priority issue” as a result of the hack.
The incident is merely the latest in a string of network attacks against games companies in 2011

If they were to hack microsoft it would be unexpected as many people think. Maybe thats the attitude thats gpoing to get them into microsoft. I hope not, its going a little to far now. i have to agree. if there trying to prove a point about the gaming companies not being able to uphold on the security. but the people they are trying to impress are now scared.
