Capcom Reveals Data Breach Affecting 11.7 Million Capcom ID Accounts

Capcom confirmed a third-party data breach accessed email addresses and system-specific identifiers for 11,774,247 Capcom ID accounts. The publisher initially detected suspicious network activity on October 19 and has reported the incident to Japan’s Personal Information Protection Commission and local law enforcement. Attackers executed unauthorized password changes on 196 accounts, which Capcom has since reset. A subset of 43 accounts had additional personal records exposed, including date of birth, gender, and country region, though no credit card information was compromised in the attack. "Capcom has not confirmed any compromise of Capcom ID account login passwords originally set by customers themselves. However, the company has confirmed that passwords were changed without authorisation on 196 accounts." — Capcom
