El editor de videojuegos Bandai Namco parece haber sido pirateado

Major video game cyberattacks have become quite regular in recent years and it seems Bandai Namco is the latest victim.

Ransomware group ‘BlackCat’ has added the Japanese publisher and developer – conocido por series como Pac-Man, Dragon Ball y Anillo de Elden – to its list of victims.

A group that monitors malware source code online, known as ‘vx-underground’, was the first to spot this and share the information on social media. The same source has previously reported on otro ataques – like the Nvidia one before it was officially confirmed.

BlackCat have reportedly been “aumentando” ransomware attacks over the past year, and has previously shared private employee data online, when victims refuse to comply. This includes demands for millions of dollars. It’s unknown at this stage the extent of this latest inncident.

Some of the biggest attacks on video game companies in recent years include the Nvidia leaks, CD proyecto rojo, EA and fellow Japanese company Capcom – which saw the reveal of a number of unannounced games ahead of release.

Nintendo y TPC han estado apuntando a personas que publicaron capturas de pantalla y videos., te lo haremos saber.
