How
Hacking Capcom identified the intrusion method and implemented security measures to prevent similar incidents.source
Look for Capcom’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
Change your Capcom password, and the same password anywhere else you use it. Turn on two-step sign-in.
Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be Capcom, your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
