In a statement released on their official website, Game Freak apologised for the incident and assured that they are taking steps to prevent future occurrences. The company is contacting affected employees individually and has implemented stricter security measures to protect their data.

The breach came to light after a 4chan user claimed to have acquired over a terabyte of data from Game Freak’s servers. The leaked information included internal documents, code, and employee details.

While the exact cause of the breach remains unclear, it is believed that social engineering tactics may have been used to trick employees into sharing sensitive information.

This incident raises concerns about the safety of employees in the gaming industry and highlights the need for stronger cybersecurity measures to protect against data breaches.
