Customer's personal information stolen from Sega database
Hackers have stolen personal information from over 1.2 million customers of the Japanese gaming company SEGA, according to a company statement.
The breach occurred Friday and targeted user data from subsidiary "SEGA Pass", which is operated by Britain-based SEGA Europe Limited (SEL).
The service was "illegally accessed from outside and personal information of all 1,290,755 customers of the service... were brought outside of the system," according to SEGA. The information included names, birth dates, e-mail addresses and "encoded passwords," the statement said.
But the company emphasized that it "does not hold any confidential information such as credit card information." SEGA says it shut down service as soon as it confirmed the illegal access and sent affected customers an e-mail apology.
The company says it is investigating the cyber break-in.

U r all a bunch of turds. SHUT UP!
No u shut up!
I assume that would make you a TINY turd?
No u...
oh bother! never mind!
You are stupid! I'm out of here...
I can't figure out this newfangled internets thing!
I just heard that Sega's U.S. database was compromised...all 11 customers were contacted via C.B. radio and informed. Then they were laughed at for about a half hour. Never trust a company that when you scream the name of it out loud in public there is a chance of you being arrested (I am of course speaking of Asgard)
Don't be nasty. Tell the truth.
It was 13 customers and they were notified by Pony Express.
it was smoke signals.
Lol u all r wrong the hack was done in the matter of mins no printing copyed to a disk its easyer to move that way lol but it was only plan A plan B is Microsoft so get ready time to go back in time....
CHINA is dangerous to your health.
I love rice
Sega's customer database??? The real shock of this article is that Sega ACTUALLY has customers after that horrible "Shadow the Hedgehog" game!
My first thought when I saw the story:
Sega is still in business?!
Oh well, why not? Someone bought the Commodore computer name...
I guess now I will have to trade in my Sega Genesis for one of those black boxes from Microsoft. What is it called, X-Box?
Sega has no customers. This is just a publicity stunt!
Uh huh. Like the dodo appreciation society?
Oh crap! Somebody got my info from my Sega! Im going to have to start using something other than A.S.S. for my high scores now. I dont want them to track me!
All your base are belong to us!
Too funny! Amazing how many people know about that!
This actually affects alot of people who purchased a Sega game online, which is indeed a lot of people. I suggest you freakin' geeks get a life, get your nose out of the console systems and actually read something other than game manuals and cheat codes. Losers.
Sega is still in business?!?
Why are people so stupid as to put all their personal information up for grabs like this. You set yourselves for this and then cry when it happens.
Anon was here!
