Hackers accessed the Eidosmontreal.com website, managed by London-based Square Enix Ltd, as well as other product sites, said a statement from the group released late Saturday. The news came as Sony's game and Internet services were pulled down after hackers staged one of the biggest data breaches since the advent of the Internet, including the theft of personal customer data. Square Enix Holdings, creator of mega hits such as Final Fantasy and the Dragon Quest series, took the sites offline to increase security, before resuming services.
