Capcom Reveal Exactly What Was Stolen In Last Year's Major Cyber-attack

Capcom was victim to a cyber-attack last November and a couple of weeks later revealed the magnitude of the incident.

    A statement given by the company on November 16th divulged that sales reports, financial documents, and the personal information of nine former and ex and current employees had been compromised. 

Making matters worse, personal data comprising of 350,000 items were said to have been "potentially" compromised, too.
The breakdown listed that of personal home addresses, phone numbers, and even credit card information.

Today, nearly two months later, Capcom released another statement disclosing the details regarding this aforementioned personal information.

16,415 have been revealed to have had personal information stolen.
Of that number, 3,248 are business partners, 9,164 are former employees or 'related partners', and 3,994 are employees and associates currently working with the company.
Capcom also stated that a maximum of 390,000 people could have been affected.

The statement concludes with a reiterated apology from the company:

"Capcom would once again like to reiterate its deepest apologies for any complications or concerns caused by this incident. As a company that handles digital content, it is regarding this incident with the utmost seriousness. In order to prevent the reoccurrence of such an event, it will endeavor to further strengthen its management structure while pursuing legal options regarding criminal acts such as unauthorized access of its networks."

The investigation remains ongoing.
