Remember when Sony's PlayStation Network had to be shut down due to unauthorized access of their servers? Now their comrades at Square Enix are getting a taste of that action, and as a result have temporarily suspended the operations of the Square Enix Members service, which operates in North America and Japan.
From their website:
We are assessing the full extent of this potential breach to determine what data, if any, was compromised and will provide more details as soon as possible. While some personal information may have been accessed, we can confirm that there is no possibility of any credit card information leak from this incident, since the server in question stores no credit card information. We estimate that the suspension will continue for a few days until we complete our investigation and counter-measures. We will update you as we learn more.
And of course, they apologize for any inconvenience and let us know that they take data security "extremely seriously," thanking us for our patience.
Naturally, we can only hope that they caught on to this before any serious harm was done.
