FromSoftware parent company KADOKAWA hit by major ransomware attack

Popular video game developer FromSoftware, known for titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls, is facing a major security crisis after parent company KADOKAWA was hit by a crippling ransomware attack by the BlackSuit group on June 27.

According to a message posted on the dark web and shared on X (formerly Twitter) by T. Nihonmatsu this week, BlackSuit claims to have infiltrated the Japanese giant’s network nearly a month ago. The hackers allege they exploited vulnerabilities in the company’s interconnected network infrastructure, granting them access to a staggering 1.5 TB of data.
