Bandai Namco data leaked following alleged ransomware attack

destructoid.com:

Bandai Namco has reportedly been the victim of a ransomware attack by a notorious hacking group. It is suspected that the developer/publisher behind brands such as Tekken, Elden Ring, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and Soulcalibur has had data pertaining to its future releases, DLC, and reveals leaked online in the wake of the attack. The news was reported by malware source code monitors vx-underground.

While some of the aforementioned information has surfaced online this morning, the full extent of the data obtained by the hacking group is unknown, and could contain the personal details of company employees, as well as source code for the company’s current and upcoming releases, and potentially data pertaining to the users of Bandai Namco games.

This attack is the latest in a series of massive data thefts that, in recent years, have previously ransacked the digital vaults of various big-name video game companies such as Capcom, EA, and, perhaps most famously, CD Projekt RED, the latter of which lead to the release of the entire source code of smash hit Cyberpunk 2077. Bandai Namco is yet to offer an official statement on the ransomware attack.
