Capcom and Square Enix Suffer Online Attacks As Hackers Access Player Data - Kotaku

Automated excerpt

A number of services run by Capcom and Square Enix have been the subject of unauthorized access attacks by third-party individuals and groups, part of a surge of AI-powered cybersecurity breaches of Japanese companies in recent weeks. According to the developer, access to the accounts was not the result of a direct breach of Square Enix’s own security and databases, but a result of this third party using credentials gathered from the security breaches of other companies to access these accounts. Notably, these two incidents are not the only cases of cybersecurity breaches targeting Japanese companies in recent weeks.
