NCsoft sued over identity theft
In South Korea, people whose identities were stolen and used to register accounts on Lineage and Lineage II plan to take legal action against NCsoft. Despite the theft not originating with NCsoft, lawyers appear to have found a convenient target for the blame.
The lawsuit doesn't appear to be taking off, with only 100 plaintiffs paying the $1 fee to join; the suit is being filed on behalf of more than 230,000 people. It looks to be more scare-tactics than a valid lawsuit, but with $230m at stake, if it gets going it may become frightening indeed.
