The european branch of Koei Tecmo has been targeted by a cyber attack. However, it looks like the damage isn’t too severe.

In a press release on December 29, Koei Tecmo reported there is a risk that the login information of around 65000 accounts of Koei Tecmo Europe’s forum have been leaked. The leak may have happened starting December 25.

At the moment, it has been confirmed that account names, encrypted passwords, and mail adresses have been stolen. No credit card information or similar critical customer or employee info has been stolen. Only forums users login information has been compromised so far.

The official sites of Koei Tecmo America and Koei Tecmo Europe have been shut down for security reasons. If you own a Koei Tecmo Europe account, make sure to change your password.
