This email was copied straight to my Blog. I put off posting this, this seemed like another bad Headache coming. It took a long time for Sega Pass to come back up. This is a personal email.
When I viewed this, I was wondering what next. As time passed I ended up not posting this. Life, and the fact, I had problems that needed to be patched with Windows 7, kept me busy. I was suffering from the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) bad, luckily the problem has been brought to a minimal but that is another subject.
Recently I decided that it is still a good idea to post this, the reason being, I have received news that PSO 2 (Phantasy Star Online 2) has been hacked, as a supposed prank. I want to show that this is not the first time Sega has been hacked.
By the way if you don't know, Sega Pass has been back up since for a while now.

Dear Anthony,
As you may be aware, the SEGA Pass system has been offline since yesterday, Thursday 16 June.
Over the last 24 hours we have identified that unauthorised entry was gained to our SEGA Pass database. We immediately took the appropriate action to protect our consumers’ data and isolate the location of the breach. We have launched an investigation into the extent of the breach of our public systems. We have identified that a subset of SEGA Pass members emails addresses, dates of birth and encrypted passwords were obtained. To stress, none of the passwords obtained were stored in plain text. Please note that no personal payment information was stored by SEGA as we use external payment providers, meaning your payment details were not at risk from this intrusion. If you use the same login information for other websites and/or services as you do for SEGA Pass, you should change that information immediately. We have also reset your password and all access to SEGA Pass has been temporarily suspended. Additionally we recommend you please take extra caution if you should receive suspicious emails that ask for personal or sensitive information. Therefore please do not attempt to login to SEGA Pass at present, we will communicate when the service becomes available. We sincerely apologise for this incident and regret any inconvenience caused. We are contacting all our members with these recommendations. If you have any further questions please contact SEGA customer support on csescalations@sega.com |
