Square Enix Members breach

Looks like 1.8 million of the 2.1 million accounts were breached.  I’m wondering if the hack completely side-stepped user accounts with keyfobs, or the .3 mil user accounts were the ones with said devices.  Info on breach

I’d login and check, but the site remains to be down.  Looks like they found out about the rooting during some maintenance on the 13th.  So I guess that also means that Final Fantasy logins are down too?

Been clear of the MMOs lately, as Forsaken World just got to the bleh threshold for me.  Haven’t tried an SE account since start of last month.

Update as of Friday night:

Temporary Suspension of “SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS” Operations (Update)

As a result of our continuing investigation into the unauthorized intrusion reported yesterday, Square Enix has now determined that user login credentials were not accessed. Moreover, we have not found evidence that the individual was able to access any personal information at all.

We will be sending an email to all SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS advising that an incident took place. This email will not be requesting any action from you.

We have reported this incident to the Japanese Government.

Because we have decided to conduct a broader internal investigation, it will take a few more days before we make the SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service available once again. We deeply regret the inconvenience this may have caused our customers and fans, and appreciate your patience.
