This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.

Capcom ID, the publisher's online membership service, has been breached by a third party, with 11.7 million records affected. These include email addresses, client IP addresses, dates of birth, genders, countries/regions, and nicknames. At the time of writing, 196 passwords have been illegitimately changed, though these have already been reset.

"We are continuing to investigate the scope of impact resulting from this unauthorized access," Capcom stated (as translated by DeepL). "We will contact affected customers individually in due course. Please note that credit card information was not compromised."

For now, it would be wise to change your passwords if they were affiliated whatsoever with your Capcom ID.
