Capcom Confirms Breach of Capcom ID Accounts Affecting Nearly 12 Million Users

Capcom has confirmed that its online membership platform, Capcom ID, suffered a significant security breach impacting approximately 11.77 million accounts globally. The company disclosed the unauthorized access on October 22, following initial detection of suspicious activity three days earlier. Affected data includes email addresses, account creation and login timestamps, client IP addresses, and total login counts for the compromised users.

While the breach involved minor personal details such as birth dates, gender, regions, and nicknames for only 43 accounts, it also resulted in 196 instances of unauthorized password changes. Capcom verified that user passwords themselves were not exposed and explicitly stated that no credit card information was accessed or stolen. The firm reset the passwords for the affected accounts and reported the incident to law enforcement on October 21. Services remain operational, though the company warns users to be vigilant against potential phishing attempts using leaked contact information.
