Rumors of Bandai Namco having its servers hacked have been confirmed by the company itself as they cite a third party acquired “unauthorized access”, with such incidents being more frequent lately as developers such as CD Projekt Red, Capcom, and Electronic Arts have all been subjected to such infiltration.
About a week ago, it was rumored that a ransomware group “ransomed Bandai Namco”, who alleged that they stole confidential information, and now Bandai Namco has confirmed this to be the case in a statement, and that customer information could have also been compromised:
“On July 3, 2022, Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. confirmed that it experienced an unauthorized access by third party to the internal systems of several Group companies in Asian regions (excluding Japan). After we confirmed the unauthorized access, we have taken measures such as blocking access to the servers to prevent the damage from spreading.
In addition, there is a possibility that customer information related to the Toys and Hobby Business in Asian regions (excluding Japan) was included in the servers and PCs, and we are currently identifying the status about existence of leakage, scope of the damage, and investigating the cause.
We will continue to investigate the cause of this incident and will disclose the investigation results as appropriate. We will also work with external organizations to strengthen security throughout the Group and take measures to prevent recurrence.
We offer our sincerest apologies to everyone involved for any complications or concerns caused by this incident.”
Ransomware is described as a form of “malicious software used by cybercriminals”, and is usually weaponized to extort money from those they infect with it, while also preventing them from accessing their own important files.
Rumors of Bandai Namco’s upcoming projects and titles will likely surface in large quantities in the future, with possibly some of the information being true due to the data leak.
These hacks are somewhat useless – the companies openly admit all the garbage they plan to do with diversity pledges. I suppose it’s bad PR for Bamco, which is a positive.
It’s usually much worse behind closed doors. Capcom’s showed why they changed Cammy’s design and randomly made her a lesbian, and also showed that Capcom will be doing everything in their power to remove “gender” from their games. These Japanese companies are woke as s♥♥t.
“No PR is bad PR”.
It has nothing to do with politics in many cases and just data theft and blackmail.
With the increase in tools sold even on the deep web, just a few computer students are enough.
In some countries the law is lenient on IT laws, and now with Mr Elon musk’s satellites, even in really remote places you can get internet bandwidth.
And as far as possible and more obvious, employees involved with the leak and access. (continue hiring only by gender quota and diversity, damn apologists board)
Oh… OH!…… oh well
I find it strange that after these attacks, companies adopt those “policies” that everyone knows about and that end in censorship.
If it’s excluding Japan then what’s the problem? They shouldn’t be doing business in other countries anyway.
Meaning no sympathy for these globohomo corpos and their clients
Every big company or any that want be big including the Japaneses are focusing in the Chinese and Western public.
Japan died in PS2 era for these dudes. Better Japan continue focusing on their girls in a mystical fantasy world with extra thick blue eyed blond elves almost naked or they will lose even more in the future.
(Futa are real girls)
Of course it is, raise your ass to one of them and see how true it is..
Futa are real girls
Have you ever tried giving thought to why you hate trannies and black people? Seems like more and more weebs just hate s♥♥t with no logical being given whatsoever. You people are fucking simpletons.
The joys of “diversity”.
White people like you don’t have big dicks cuck bring me the snack tray
