The hacker community appears to be divided over a break-in suffered last week by Sega’s database. The hack reportedly led to the theft of the emails, addresses, dates of birth and encrypted passwords of about 1.3 million members of the Sega Pass online network.

It said the victims’ personal payment information was not at risk as it uses external payment providers.
