Het ziet er naar uit dat de game industrie hun beveiliging niet echt goed op orde heeft, want na Ubisoft en Nintendo heeft ook Konami ongewenst bezoek op hun servers gehad. Daarom raden ze ook aan om gelijk de inlog gegevens van je Konami Accounts te veranderen. De grote vraag is nu: Wie is next??


Game maker Konami said one of its online portals has been hit by a mass of illicit login attempts, with attackers gaining access to over 35,000 accounts, just days after Nintendo revealed a similar attack on one of its sites.

Konami said that on Monday it noticed a large surge in access errors to its "Konami ID" website, which customers use to create and manage login accounts for other online services run by the company. The game maker said an investigation revealed that from June 13 to July 7, nearly 4 million login attempts were made to the site, with 35,252 successful.

Konami said the login information was probably leaked from a service run by a different company. It said it has frozen the compromised accounts and asked its users to change their passwords.

The accounts include users' actual names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses. The IDs can also be used to access some of Konami's other sites in Japan, including an online shopping site, but he company said it had detected no access to paid services using the compromised data.
