Another set of hackers have broken into Sega's Pass Database. Spokeswomen Yugo Nagasawa confirmed the news that over 1.29 million users personal data has been stolen. The reaction to the attacks has been swift however, Sega representatives explained that all user passwords had been reset immediately and customers have been made aware that all user details should be changed immediately. The hacking 'group' Lulz Security who were most recently famed for being responsible for the attacks against Nintendo have denied involvement.

Scandal has broken in the city of London as a number of prominent lawyers are to face investigations into alleged financial 'irregularties'. One of the most prominent suspects is 'Christopher Grierson' who was until recently one of the most respected lawyers in the entire country and runner up for the prestigious 'Laywer of the Year' award in 2010. If claims hold true Grierson was also busy amassing over £1 million in false expenses over a four year period. Methods included booking high expense flights, claiming the value of the tickets back from his firm and then proceeding to cancel the flight... Seems like a smart dude.
