Last month we brought you news of the Square Enix hacking that took their Official Online Goods Store offline. Though there was apparently no financial threat to customers with credit card details not being stored online, other information such as names and mailing addresses might have been compromised.
A month after the breach was discovered, Square Enix has announced the permanent retirement of the site.
Square Enix will be consolidating the defunct store's products into the official Square Enix e-store.
The products previously vendored through the Official Online Goods Store - which was primarily focused on collectibles and character goods - aren't gone forever though. Square Enix will shift it all over to their official e-store, which has previously been only for games and music.
Consolidating their products into a single online store after a successful breach seems like a risky idea to me though. What do you guys think?
