The computer attack has not affected the operation of the online services of their games.

Capcom was the victim of a cyberattack this week. In an official statement, the Japanese company confirms an attack that occurred on November 2 against the servers of the business group, although they guarantee that it has not affected in any way the operation of its online games. And most important of all: they point out that their users’ private information remains safe.

Through its financial portal for the press, the Japanese company offers the following statement: “Beginning in the early hours of November 2, some of the Capcom group networks experienced problems that affected access to certain systems, including emails and file servers. The company has confirmed that this was due to unauthorized access by third parties and that it has stopped some of the operations of its internal networks as of November 2. “

” Capcom expresses its deepest regret for any inconvenience this may have caused to stakeholders,” the statement comments, adding: “In addition, [Capcom] has stated that, at the present time, there are no indications that no consumer information has been compromised. This incident has not affected the connections to play the company’s titles online or to access its various web pages “.

In closing, Capcom notes that they are collaborating with the police and relevant authorities to carry out an investigation of the incident and take the necessary action on their systems. Likewise, the company promises to offer more information as all the details regarding this security breach are clarified.

While Capcom claims there is no indication that users’ private information has been accessed, it never hurts to be safe. So we recommend that you activate two-step verification in the services that allow it and that you be vigilant for possible phishing attempts. This news comes shortly after Capcom’s financial results for the last quarter, with big revenue figures thanks to Resident Evil 3 and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
