Hacker group intends to help Sega out

We heard that BioWare’s servers were hacked last week with 18,000 or so accounts getting compromised. Sega too, was not exempt, with their security being breached. While no hacker has claimed responsibility so far, the phrase “It takes a thief to catch a thief” comes to mind when hacker group LulzSec volunteered to help Sega track down who the culprits were – now this is interesting, since LulzSec were behind some of the more high profile hacking incidents in recent memory.

It seems that sensitive information concerning 1.3 million customers from Sega’s servers were compromised (and we’re quite sure none of them describe the kind of undergarments you wear). Just what constitutes as “sensitive information”? We’re talking about customer names, dates of birth, e-mail addresses, and encrypted passwords. 

LulzSec Tweeted, “We want to help you destroy the hackers that attacked you. We love the Dreamcast, these people are going down”. What do you think of the whole shebang? There is honor among thieves after all, and when you hit LulzSec where it hurts, you are able to draw them out. Could this be part of the CIA’s counter-cyberterrorism program to capture the members of the LulzSec team to avenge their recent hack?
