Sega hacked, gets offer of help from... hackers?

Sega has launched an investigation after hackers got into their customer database, compromising the personal information of Sega Pass members. This adds the veteran video game software maker to the growing list of video game-related attacks in recent days.

But this particular attack had unexpected results. According to a Reuters article published by The Ottawa Citizen:

"The news capped a week in which the Lulz Security group of hackers launched a cyber crime spree against other video game companies.

In an unexpected twist, Lulz responded to the news of the attack on Sega by offering to track down and punish the hackers who attacked the Japanese maker of video game software."

Awww, almost brings a tear to your eye. Clearly this band of rogues has a soft spot for Sonic the Hedgehog.

Let's hope the FBI goes easy on their tails.
