Yet Another Victim of The Hacking, Sega


Among the other hacking incidents lately such as Sony, Nintendo, Bethesda, Epic, and the list goes on. Members of the Sega forums were sent an email discussing the details of the attack earlier today. Sega stated: 

"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."

As previous companies have been hacked, the situation has always been similar. Emails, passwords, dates of birth, usually that zone as opposed to credit cards or any payment details. Fortunately it's quick hit and runs for account details. I'm sure we can expect another company to pop up again tomorrow or in the next few days.
