SEGA Takes Its Turn At Getting Hacked

Another day, another hacker attack. Earlier this week, Bethesda and the Brink game servers fell victim to hackers, and it seems today it was SEGA’s turn. The database for SEGA Pass, which is an opt-in newsletter service (also used as an account system for some online SEGA games) suffered an “unauthorized entry” earlier today. Though the database didn’t have any really critical information in it (like credit card numbers) if you used a non-unique email and password combination to sign up for the service, you’ll want to change your passwords right away.



Though no one has claimed credit for the recent attack, the “hacktivist” group LulzSec is probably behind this latest security breach, as they have been behind every other major attack this week. Considering that essentially every major publisher and developer seems to be in their sights, I suppose pretty much everyone who uses web-based game services is in danger from these malicious attacks.
