Koei Tecmo Shuts Down Official Websites After Being Hit By Cyber Attack

#Koei #Tecmo’s official websites have been temporarily closed after the #European branch was hit by a cyber attack.

#In a press release issued on 29th #December, #Koei #Tecmo confirmed forum login details of about 65,000 accounts had been leaked. #This includes account names, passwords (in an encrypted state) and mail addresses. #Fortunately, no credit card details, customer or employee information appear to have been stolen.

#If you navigate to the #American or #European #Koei #Tecmo websites, you’ll be presented with the following message:

“#Due to the possibility of an external cyberattack on this website, it is temporarily closed as we investigate the issue.”

#Anyone with a #Koei #Tecmo account is advised to update their password as soon as possible.

#This latest cyber attack follows on from a huge #Capcom leak last month, which saw around 1TB of sensitive data allegedly stolen and has seemingly revealed many of the company’s upcoming projects ahead of schedule.

#Koei #Tecmo most recently assisted with #Hyrule #Warriors: #Age of #Calamity and will release #Atelier #Ryza 2 on the #Switch early next year.
