Bandai Namco has announced via press release that part of its internal systems related to the Asian region have been hacked and the company is currently investigating.
According to the announcement, the unauthorized access involved the internal systems of several companies of the group in the Asian region excluding Japan, and there is the possibility that customer information has been leaked.
That being said, the possibly leaked customer information is related to the Toys and Hobby business, which means that the Digital Business (which includes video games) should not be affected.
The Tokyo-based company is still investigating the existence of leaks and the scope of the damage done by the hackers. It also promises to disclose the results of said investigation as appropriate and to work with external organizations to improve its security.
