Sega hack - 1.3 Million users affected... here we go again

First Sony, then SOE, then a bank and now Sega. Sega has confirmed that 1,290,755 Sega Pass user accounts were accessed by hackers. Information that was accessed includes email addresses, dates of birth and encrypted passwords.

Time to change your password again.

Sega has already alerted all the affected customers and has taken emergency actions of taking the system offline while Sega does a full blown investigation as to how and who accessed the information. Sega further confirmed that none of their other services were affected by the breach.

In an ironic twist, hacker group LulzSec has offered their services to both Nintendo and Sega to retaliate against the hackers that have affected these companies as of late.

"@Sega - contact us. We want to help you destroy the hackers that attacked you. We love the Dreamcast, these people are going down," (via Twitter)
