Square Enix customer data leaked after Sony problems

Japanese game developer Square Enix Holdings said email addresses of
25,000 customers as well as resumes of 250 job applicants were leaked
after a hacker attack against its European subsidiary.

Hackers accessed the Eidosmontreal.com website, managed by London-based
Square Enix Ltd, as well as other product sites, said a statement from the
group released late Saturday.

The news came as Sony's game and Internet services were pulled down after
hackers staged one of the biggest data breaches since the advent of the
Internet, including the theft of personal customer data.

Square Enix Holdings, creator of mega hits such as Final Fantasy and the
Dragon Quest series, took the sites offline to increase security, before
resuming services.
