Sega Hacked: 1.3 Million Users’ Information Compromised

Sega Corp.'s database has been hacked. The multinational video game developing company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan has sent an email to users to notify Sega Pass system users that their emails, dates of birth and their passwords were compromised by hackers. The stolen passwords were encrypted.

The email contained a message stating there is no risk financially since payment information was not stolen and the company is investigating the extent of the hacking. So far, 1.3 million customers' information has been comprised.
Sega has recommended users to change their passwords if they use the same password for Sega Pass website and other sites.
The Sega pass website is currently down and all the passwords have been reset.
When users visit the website customers will see this notice "Hi, SEGA Pass is going through some improvements so is currently unavailable for new members to join or existing members to modify their details including resetting passwords. We hope to be back up and running very soon. Thank you for your patience."

The hack is the latest large scale hacking occurrence in the last several months. Sony reportedly lost around $170 million when its PlayStation Network was hacked. Citibank was also hacking victim recently, losing customer credit card information.
The hacker group LulzSec, which has been associated with a number of recent attacks on big companies, including one against Nintendo, has denied involvement in the Sega case.
The group expressed its intention to help Sega to find the attackers saying on their Twitter feed: "@Sega - contact us. We want to help you destroy the hackers that attacked you. We love the Dreamcast; these people are going down."

Google Nexus 4G Gets Detailed

There have been all sorts of rumors out there regarding Google’s next Nexus phone and we can toss another into the hat today as BGR is reporting that it might just be a monster of a smartphone that is set to hit shelves somewhere around Thanksgiving.

First, this Nexus 4G is apparently going to be running on a next-generation dual-core 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz CPU. No, no Kal-El for this thing. Instead, it’ll apparently run an OMAP 4460 or a low powered Snapdragon. In addition, it supposedly has a “monster-sized” screen that has 720p HD resolution and it will apparently come without any of the physical buttons that generally come below the display.

It should also have a 4G LTE radio inside when it arrives which means it’s possibly going to be AT&T’s first 4G LTE smartphone – which also means that it might not be a Nexus device considering all of them have started on T-Mobile – and it might also come with 1GB of RAM and 1080p HD video capture and playback. As for the cameras, a 5MP rear camera with advanced sensor, and a 1MP front facing camera for video chatting.

The Nexus 4G will also apparently arrive with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and may be the first device to do so. All of this apparently will come in a super thin form factor making this one of the most desirable phones in recent memory, if true.

LulzSec Releases Over 62,000 Hacked Passwords

Rogue hacker group LulzSec is at it again, recently boasting on its Twitter that it had hacked the accounts of over 62,000 and provided a dump of emails and passwords free for download.

CRO of F-secure, Mikko H. Hypponen, believes that the emails and passwords were from a database kept by website Writerspace.com, according to the Hacker News. His reasoning: "Why writerspace.com? Well, the most common passwords include these: mystery, bookworm, reader, romance, library, booklover and..writerspace.So basically that's why I believe the latest Lulzsec password leak originates from writerspace.com. I'm guessing it's their user database."

Gizmodo took the database and has made a script for users to input their email address to check it against the release from LulzSec. Unless you were a member of Writerspace, you're probably not affected, but this is a good way to confirm.
