(Reuters) - Japanese video game developer Sega Corp said on Sunday that information belonging to 1.3 million customers has been stolen from its database, the latest in a rash of global cyber attacks against video game companies.
Names, birth dates, e-mail addresses and encrypted passwords of users of Sega Pass online network members had been compromised, Sega said in a statement, though payment data such as credit card numbers was safe. Sega Pass had been shut down.
"We are deeply sorry for causing trouble to our customers. We want to work on strengthening security," said Yoko Nagasawa, a Sega spokeswoman, adding it is unclear when the firm would restart Sega Pass.
It's a little-known fact that the CDX came bundled with two copies of the best Genesis game ever: Genesis.
"You know, I have a great, wonderful, really original method of teaching antitrust law, and it kept 80 percent of the students awake. They learned things. It was fabulous." -- Justice Stephen Breyer
I think the last time I used my CDX was when I used to bring it to school in grade 11 because I needed a portable cd player. My friends thought I was crazy for bringing it, but then they all wanted to use it. Two new double AA batteries wouldn't last more than our lunch period. So after a week I left it at home and got myself a proper cd player with skip protection.
