More and more gaming sites have been hit this year than I can ever remember, and this time it’s SEGA’s turn.

SEGA has sent out emails informing customers that its SEGA Pass suite of websites has been compromised including the “game forums and press source sites,” and are urging users to change any user/password combinations. No financial information was promised, as those details were encrypted.

“As you may be aware, the SEGA Pass system has been offline since Thursday June 16. 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.”

No further details were revealed, LulzSec has denied responsibility for this action.
