Why it matters
Capcom is treating a breach touching roughly 11.77 million records as a cost it can absorb without disclosing the size of the bill, which keeps the security incident outside the numbers investors can check.
It said emergency measures are complete, CAPCOM ID services remain usable, and gameplay is unaffected across all games. On October 22 Capcom reported about 11.77 million leaked records worldwide and 196 accounts with passwords changed without authorization.
