Honestly? This is very quick turnaround time from detection to response. Most companies don't tell you until multple months out, even years. And usually there's more important data nabbed in those cases too.

On October 19, 2026, Capcom detected suspicious activity indicating potential unauthorized access to CAPCOM ID and immediately blocked the access and launched an investigation into the cause and scope of the incident. We also began emergency response measures alongside measures to identify and respond to the attack method. As a result of our investigation, on October 20, 2026 we confirmed that certain customer information registered with CAPCOM ID had been compromised. We continue to monitor the situation, investigate the incident, and assess the full scope of the impact.

We regret to inform you that the following information associated with your CAPCOM ID account has been confirmed to have been affected:

Advisory to Customers
