Yet another hack has hit a high-profile publisher last week, as SEGA became the next victim in a long line of hacks that have also affected Bethesda, Epic and obviously, the most damaging hack of all aimed at Sony, which caused over a month of suspended PSN service.
The SEGA Pass service has been offline since Thursday, June 16th while a breach of consumers' data and personal information is isolated and investigated further. "We have identified that a subset of SEGA Pass members emails addresses, dates of birth and encrypted passwords were obtained," reads an email informing SEGA Pass members of the breach. "To stress, none of the passwords obtained were stored in plain text.?"
In response to the hack, SEGA has acted by resetting members' passwords and suspended the service until further notice. SEGA also recommends changing your login information for other websites and services if they're the same as your SEGA Pass info. No personal payment information was stored by SEGA as it uses external payment providers, so no payment details were compromised in the hack, fortunately.
"Please do not attempt to login to SEGA Pass at present, we will communicate when the service becomes available," concludes the email. The SEGA Pass service should hopefully be back online soon.
