Square Enix site hacked

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

If its just their regular site that got hacked than it wont matter, it'll be up in a few days. Now if its gonna affect the FFXI and FFXIV servers...thats another story.

Here is a great example of why an all digital distribution, over the internet gaming future will never truly take over from physical media. Hackers can take down and disrupt such as sevice. Square Enix has some extent of on-line gaming service. With Final Fantasy 11, and Final Fantasy 14. Those on-line MMO FF fans are not able to access their game. This is why an all digital distribution cloud based internet on-line gaming future. Is not such a great idea. I'd be really pissed if I wasn't able to play because of the hackers trying to steal credit card information.

crap , I have a Square Enix account, even though i' haven't visited it since I signed up, man this is the second or third place I have an account with that's been hacked this year ... This year will be known as the year of the hackers I guess, stupid hackers.....

somebody out there is going on a tear. we need to create the cyber version of the FBI already.

Wow theres a lot of people on here complaining about Enix's games this gen. I thought Deus Ex was a great game (cant judge FF because I don't play the series but Deus was great)...Nevermind I just went onto Enix's website to find other titles and nope...you guys were right they really haven't had any good games this gen (except Deus).

Maybe they don't want to hack activision because they don't wanna get hired by activision :P

I don't think the hackers will be getting so much hate if they hacked Activition. :P

Why would you hack some gaming company's free forums? I don't see the reason. Maybe they are looking to fetch a job with the security there? Hackers hack stuff, then get caught on purpose, then they get hired to tighten security of the stuff they hacked.

@toddx77 lol atleast its a goal in their life to try an achieve instead of causing thousands of gamers headaches every few months or so

@IamTheBesteva If a nice educated guy like me can't get a girlfriend then how is an anti social, no friends, haven't showered in a month, pirates every game because he is too cheap to buy any hacker going to find one lol?

Hackers will get away as usual! Just look at GeoHotz! Money buys everything... :(

Hackera, Y U NO HACK ZYNGA OR ACTIVISION? :P

@ryzrocks Some of them may do things like this which I disagree with. Trust me though our government needs their talent to defend against advancing cyber aggression from countries like China.

Hackers have no life, no love, no family...what a nuisance bunch of loserz... :(

Hackers make Jesus cry...

I wish the hackers would hack spam sites instead .... that is if they weren't the ones responsible for creating the spam codes in the first place.

Way to end the 2011,the hacking year,with a BANG.

This just what everyone knows and most just don't wanna admit, Internet is not safe enough for deep business, I wonder when companies gonna realize that and stop making stupid large game downloads, and keep dreaming of safety.

said it before i'll say it again, get a girlfriend kids

f'n hackers

All this hacking random stuffs is making them dumb and dull

Daring hackers posing threats? Jeez, the web is not that tight-secured it wants to be!

God, is this just the year of hacks? :/ Crap, I have a Members account...

Pfft, what a waste of programming talent and time

It's the new trendy behaviour of those anti-social nobodies living in their parents basement?

What did they hack to find out what the hell is wrong with SE this gen? I still have hope for you squeenix, I'll go down with the ship.

my ps fanboy friend said microsoft is doing all these hacks. said they did it to sony and he had to buy a 360 because he wanted to play his games online and he said he hasnt gone back to his ps3 because the graphics are little bit better on 360 lol.... i told him i dont think the graphics are better but i do think the gameplay online is alot smoother and less of a head ache because u dont have to install so much stuff or do a update every other week.

What, Square Enix was offering a service that was free to gamers? How dare they. They should be hacked to teach them a lesson. Like @el3m2tigre said, maybe they'll learn their lesson and charge $60 next time. The nerve.

Hasnt been a gd year for sites and ps3 an stream ;[ . Enough said i hope they each them, oh wait they getting a way with it .

they mighta did it to try and make some good games.....square enix has been very bad this gen imo

Squeenix is squeeling

Like a broken record this s****'s getting old..... This is why an all digital future will never work.

F***ing Hackers, go do something else with your meaningless lives!

-facepalm- Here we go again . . .

Square Enix brought this on themselves. The hackers were probably trying to find where FFXIII-Versus went MIA within their database. That game is as evasive as the loch ness monster.

next Capcom Please ...... (Thumbs me Down All You Want.. but capcom is ripping us with crappy fighter games)

woopy doo da day.

I wish these hackers stop wasting time on good companies and actually start hacking companies that deserve it like Capcom, EA & Activision.

2011 - Year of the the Sony Hack and a lots of other pointless ones.

Hacking is really stupid and accomplishes nothing. Why don't you hack oil companies or somthing and release vital info rather than hacking a game company like Enix. Oh thats right you know how to hack but when it comes to reading and understanding vital info your at a loss.

@HollowNinja Nothing on the internet is safe from hackers. They may not get your personal info from GOG, but they can cross reference things very easily and get your personal info from somewhere else.

I really hate these hackers who attack without any reason and are ruining gaming for us gamers just for "teh lulz",as they would say it... Instead of doing this crap,get out of your d@mn basement,get a life,its almost Christmas :P Or if that's too much for you,use your hacking skills for some good at least,like that guy who hacked and patched some annoying bug in Rift some time ago,if I heard right...

Was this really needed? huh!? come on now, we get it, your a bunch of little whiny maggots with far to much free time on your hands and a seemingly insatiable need to be a disruption. This is not amusing, it is a pain in the cornhole to regular folks, and there are MUCH better things one can do to be an annoyance, such as launching yourselves off the nearest tall building.

Here we go again with the hackers:(

You hacked a website, what an amazing life accomplishment.

Talk about a bunch of lifeless desperation. I wouldn't be surprised if this was done by the same people who hijacked all the other networks this article mentioned.
