Capcom's CAPCOM ID hit by unauthorized access, over 11.77 million records leaked

Capcom has disclosed that unauthorized third-party access to its CAPCOM ID membership service exposed 11,774,247 records worldwide, including email addresses, account creation dates, and login histories. Forty-three accounts additionally had birth dates and nicknames exposed, and 196 accounts had their login passwords tampered with; passwords and credit card data were not leaked, and affected passwords have been reset. The intrusion was discovered on October 19, the access source was blocked the same day, and Capcom has reported the case to the police and Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission, with a dedicated support desk being set up. It matters as one of the largest recent gaming-account breaches, and exposed users should stay alert for phishing built on the leaked emails.
