Pokemon reacts to hacking attempts

Pokemon has announced that some user accounts have been intruded upon and, accordingly, decided to reset passwords to prevent possible security breaches.

Here's What We Know

Pokemon has detected attempts to illegally access its account system, likely by unknown attackers or hackers. In response to these attempts, the company took security measures and blocked accounts that could have been taken over or hacked.

However, the company's representatives clarified that the system was not hacked, but simply attempts to access some accounts were detected. The corporation forced the affected users to change their passwords for additional protection.

These events are pushing companies to introduce strict security measures, such as two-factor authentication, but Pokemon does not currently provide this option for its users.
