Square-Enix is experiencing
a case of déjà vu as one of their servers got hacked yesterday that resulted in
a temporary shutdown of the company’s members service. Today, the feeling of déjà
vu continues as the company reported that about 1.8 million accounts were
affected by the breach.
According to Square-Enix
yesterday, there was no possibility of a credit card information leak. The intruder
hacked into an unknown number of servers that instead stored personal
information like names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
“We [have] yet to learn
whether illegal access was gained to our clients’ information,” said a Square-Enix
spokeswoman. “But we have asked our customers to be aware of the incident in
case they receive suspicious messages using our name.”
Like Metroid: Other M before it, Skyward Sword has a game-breaking glitch that made it
impossible for players to progress through the game. And like Metroid: Other M, Nintendo of Japan has a workaround posted on its website or a fix that
involves either sending in your SD card or Wii system to Nintendo.
Another solution Nintendo is working on involves a downloadable program to patch the save file.
No word yet from
Nintendo of America when these fixes will reach Western shores.
