Japanese video game company Sega says that information belonging to 1.3 million customers has been stolen from its database in a cyber attack.
Names, birthdays, email addresses and encrypted passwords have all been compromised and Sega Pass had been shut down.
Lulz Security, a group of hackers that has launched its own cyber attacks against companies including Nintendo and the US Senate, has offered to track down the Sega hackers.

20 stupid kids' names - crazy parents tried Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116
How about this for your kid's name: Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 ?
Apparently a crazy couple in Sweden tried to call their child this but, thankfully, it was rejected, and they settled for "A".
Other names include: Moon Unit Zappa, Number 16 Bus Shelter and one that has 585 letters.
Last week, I reported on the Israeli couple who called their child Like (STORY), after the Facebook button. Then there was the Canadian couple who wanted their child to be 'genderless' and called it Storm (STORY).
I was alerted to a weblink after a re-Tweet from Paul Steele, the Bald Hiker (nice name!) (@paul_steele): The 20 #Stupidest Things People Have Named Their Kids! http://t.co/XrR7Ls9 RT @Flipbooks @emilybratkovich
The 20 Stupidest Things People Have Named Their Kids
Have to take some of it with a very large pinch of salt (and the link is quite old), but there is no reason to doubt the list - after all, there are many stupid and cruel parents out there.
