Capcom, the Japanese publisher behind Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter, says an outsider broke into its <strong>CAPCOM ID<\/strong> account system and got at <strong>11,774,247 records<\/strong> worldwide, according to the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/english\/news\/html\/e261022.html\">Oct. 22 notice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What leaked: <strong>email addresses<\/strong> plus account details like when the account was created, the last login time, number of logins, and the <strong>IP address<\/strong> used at last login. A tiny slice, <strong>43 records<\/strong>, also included date of birth, gender, country and nickname.<\/p>\n<p>The scary part: someone changed the passwords on <strong>196 accounts<\/strong> without permission. Capcom says it has reset those, hasn\u2019t confirmed that any passwords customers set themselves were stolen, and says <strong>credit card info was not included<\/strong>. Games and services are still running, and Capcom plans to notify affected customers.<\/p>\n<p>Why you should care even if you never touch Resident Evil: CAPCOM ID can be linked to your <strong>PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Epic and Nintendo<\/strong> accounts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malwarebytes.com\/blog\/data-breaches\/2026\/10\/resident-evil-maker-capcom-warns-of-phishing-after-11-7-million-records-exposed\">Malwarebytes<\/a> warns the leaked details could make fake \u201cCapcom\u201d emails much more convincing. Note the 11.7 million figure counts records, so it may not be that many individual people.<\/p>\n<p>What to do: don\u2019t click links in any \u201cyour account needs attention\u201d email. Go to <strong>cid.capcom.com<\/strong> yourself, turn on CAPCOM ID\u2019s <strong>two-factor authentication<\/strong> (Capcom recommends Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator), and check your linked platform accounts, especially if you got a password-change notice you didn\u2019t ask for.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: AI-generated editorial illustration by Bugle Blast.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capcom.co.jp\/ir\/english\/news\/html\/e261022.html\">Capcom<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malwarebytes.com\/blog\/data-breaches\/2026\/10\/resident-evil-maker-capcom-warns-of-phishing-after-11-7-million-records-exposed\">Malwarebytes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emails, IP addresses and login history leaked, 196 passwords changed by an intruder.
