Toys and Hobby Toy Division customer data may have been leaked.
A hacker group called ALPHV claimed at the beginning of this week that it had broken into Bandai Namco's system. The latter has now confirmed that someone has indeed entered the server without authorization, and said that Asia does not include Japan. Customer data related to Toys and Hobby's toy division may have been leaked. Officials are currently assessing the circumstances, scope and causes of the leak and will disclose the results of the investigation as appropriate. They also expressed their deep apologies for any complications and distress caused by this incident.
In fact, this is the second time Bandai Namco has encountered a security crisis this year. Previously, the vulnerability in "Dark Souls 3" once forced it and FromSoftware to shut down the PVP server to deal with the threat. In addition, CD Projekt Red, EA, Capcom, etc. have also become targets of hacker attacks in recent years. How to protect data has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved in the game and even the entire technology industry.
