Square-Enix hacked

[Rydin]

I don't think it we have to worry about someone having your account password and gaining access to your game
Even without a security token... anyone who has ever tried logging in from a different IP address knows they'd also need your email password... Something that would not be on SE's servers
So as long as they got no Credit Card info then we're relatively safe

For the finger print scanners, are you talking more like Digital Persona?

I think I've been a little too serious in this thread.

Headline 2013,

"Square-Enix first game company to demand DNA testing for account restoration"

Lolwut, how did we get from a single article about a hacked server to fingerprint scanners and DNA testing?xD

This thread just went overboard..about two pages ago.

Still first page for me, but scanners are related as it's a security system for PC data as well ;p

Hacked? I always picture this comic now everytime I hear some company got hacked.
(just swap out "sony" with any other said company)

Sony was the worse because email/password combination weren't encrypted and stored in plain text... Credit cards info weren't luckily.

1.8 Million Square Enix Accounts Were Hacked
Square Enix stated yesterday that somebody "may have gained unauthorized access to a particular Square Enix server" and took its members service offline in both Japan and the U.S. Today, the company clarified that 1.8 million customer's accounts had been affected.

The breach hit one million Japanese members and 800,000 U.S. ones. The hack impacted customer names and phone numbers. The server in question stores no credit card info, so, according to Square Enix, "there is no possibility of any credit card information leak."

"We are yet to learn whether illegal access was gained to our clients' information," said a Square Enix spokesperson. "But we have asked our customers to be aware of the incident in case they receive suspicious messages using our name."
