Following on from the hack into Square Enix's (Deus Ex, Tomb Raider franchises) servers last week, the Japanese company has been sending out an email to its members, updating them on the situation. They explain that no personal information was lifted, but have suspended their member's service while investigations continue. This rather reassuring explanation is in stark contrast to initial reports that up to 1.8 million accounts (1M in Japan, 800K in America) had had personal information lifted, such as names, phone numbers and email addresses. However, it does appear that no personal, login or credit card info was accessed in the end, the company reports (hopefully honestly). Here is that Square Enix email in full:

Their website also states that they hope to restart the member's service by the end of December. The company's security record doesn't really seem all that good though, as recently in May, they were hacked as well, with websites deusex.com and eidosmontreal.com having suffered intrusions, with 25,000 customer records having had their details lifted.
