Capcom hit by ransomware attack

img_logo.jpg
Earlier this week, we reported on hacking events on video game companies Crytek and Ubisoft, with the source code of Watch Dogs: Legion even getting leaked. Now another company, Capcom, has been victim of a similar attack from a different group. The company issued a statement that on November 2nd, third parties gained access to "certain systems, including email and file servers" and added that "there is no indication that any customer information was breached".

Below you can read Capcom's official statement:

Beginning in the early morning hours of November 2, 2020 some of the Capcom Group networks experienced issues that affected access to certain systems, including email and file servers. The company has confirmed that this was due to unauthorized access carried out by a third party, and that it has halted some operations of its internal networks as of November 2. Capcom expressed its deepest regret for any inconvenience this may cause to its various stakeholders. Further, it stated that at present there is no indication that any customer information was breached. This incident has not affected connections for playing the company's games online or access to its various websites.

Presently, Capcom is consulting with the police as well as other related authorities while both carrying out an investigation and taking measures to restore its systems. The company will continue to offer relevant updates as the facts become clear, via its websites and other means.

A report from Bleeping Computer identifies as the cyberattack as being a Ragnar Locker ransomware, with 1TB of sensitive data stolen from Capcom's corporate networks. According to the report, the cyberattack group left the following ransom note and are demanding $11,000,000 in bitcoins.

Why do tech-savvy Hakaz always have issues with grammar and spelling?

I mean, "So we has downloaded", "if you reading this message", "contact information you will find at the bottom of this notes", "no contact made in closest time", "within 2 day since", etc.

Can't they even English properly? Seriously undermines their credibility...

Capcom didn't deserve this. Now, if it was EA on the other hand... I wouldn't mind seeing their shit go up in flames. I don't support this kind of activity but... You know. "Decryption DLC for $11,000,000"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Black ops was the lesser shitter line in cock a poopoo tbf just a way to let people know it hasn't died or going a different route I guess
