Global video game publisher Bandai Namco – known for games including Pac-Man and Elden Ring – has reportedly been hit by a ransomware attack according to the cyber security site VX-underground, which showed a screen grab suggesting stolen data from the company is incoming from Ransomware-as-a-Service group ALPHV.
ALPHV is a rapidly growing ransomware group notorious for pressurizing its victims – charging up $2.5M for ransoms, and carrying out ‘quadruple ransomware attacks’, hitting victims with encryption, data theft, denial of service (DoS) and harassment.
