The Japanese gaming company Sega Corp. said in a statement on Sunday some personal information from more than 1.2 million registered users had been stolen after the website of its subsidiary based in Britain was hacked.
The Sega Pass website operated by Sega Europe limited was designed to provide product news. The services were shutdown following the breach
detected on Friday. They are still not resumed on the official website of the company late Sunday night and the company said it is investigating the hacking.
The company said most of the users of the hacked website are in Europe and North America. A similar cyberattack had troubled the Sony group earlier in April. The hacking affected about 100 million people.
