Publisher Bandai Namco has announced that it has indeed been targeted by hackers and is in the process of identifying the extent of the damage.
Speaking in a statement, the Elden Ring publisher revealed that the hackers accessed confidential information on its servers, and that there is a “possibility” this includes customer information. Bandai Namco is now “currently identifying the status about existence of leakage, scope of the damage, and investigating the cause.”
On 3rd July, 2022, Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. confirmed that it experienced an unauthorised access by third party to the internal systems of several Group companies in Asian regions (excluding Japan).
After we confirmed the unauthorised access, we have taken measures such as blocking access to the servers to prevent the damage from spreading.
In addition, there is a possibility that customer information related to the Toys and Hobby Business in Asian regions (excluding Japan) was included in the servers and PCs, and we are currently identifying the status about existence of leakage, scope of the damage, and investigating the cause.
