Capcom confirms data breach after gamers’ data stolen in cyberattack

Japanese game giant Capcom has announced a data breach after confirming that attackers stole sensitive customer and employee information during a recent ransomware attack. Capcom was hit with a cyberattack that led to them shutting down portions of their network to halt the infection’s spread. While almost all human-operated ransomware operations steal unencrypted files before encrypted devices as a double-extortion strategy, Capcom stated there was no indication that any data was stolen. However, their statement contradicted stolen data samples seen by BleepingComputer and published by Ragnar Locker on their website and ransom note.
