Capcom points an apology for “buyer info affected by means of unauthorized motion.”
Knowledge breaches are, sadly, commonplace, and now Capcom is affected by a fairly large one. Nearly 12 million customers massive, to be exact. The corporate put out an announcement acknowledging that its Capcom ID service had been hacked, compromising the knowledge of 11,774,247 particular person customers. Knowledge plucked contains person nicknames, dates of delivery, international locations of origin, emails, and gender info.
Capcom goes into the breach in depth in its assertion. If there’s a silver lining to all this skullduggery, Capcom alleges that no bank card info was accessed on account of the licensed entry. Should you’re unfamiliar, Capcom ID is a free unified account system for on-line play in sure Capcom video games, amongst different issues. Most individuals who’ve performed a Capcom recreation up to now few years will doubtless have an account, and thus ought to double-check to see if something appears amiss.
