Capcom were hacked, but customer info seems safeBest change any passwords, just in case

Best change any passwords, just in case

The makers of Street Fighter andResident Evilhave reported that a ne’er-do-well got access to their computer systems this week. That’s bad. Luckily for us, they say they’ve found no hint that the unknown baddie got into customer data. That’s good. Though I’ll be changing the password of any Capcom account I have, just in case. And this happening so soon afterhackers reportedly leaked Watch Dogs: Legion’s source codedoes make me wonder if a dramatic twist will follow.

But they do say “there is no indication that any customer information was breached”, nor has it “affected connections for playing the company’s games online or access to its various websites.” So things should continue as normal for us. Assuming the intrusion didn’t get deeper than they think. Best be safe and refresh those passwords.

Capcom say they’re still investigating and are working with The Man.
