2026 SEGA — Arara vendor leak; 2.20M newsletter emails
Data compromised
2,196,044 newsletter email addresses. 92,273 of those also have delivery-side accompanying data still under review with Arara. Names, dates of birth, sex, addresses, phones, payment cards and login passwords were not in the take. SEGA Account mailbox addresses sit on a different mailer and are out of scope. No misuse confirmed as of the notice. Lucky kuji online is separately offline for the SEGA Fave arcade-network incident.
Technical writeup
Root cause
SEGA and SEGA Fave used Arara Message for some product newsletters. Arara was reached by a third party. SEGA asked Arara on 29 October and was told no leak. After Arara’s 1 November public notice SEGA asked again. On 3 November Arara said SEGA newsletter addresses had left. Formal report 5-8 November. Official SEGA notice 9 November 2026. Same-week ARARA Message platform incident. Do not add this row into the ARARA 81.3 million unique-email total.
