The gaming industry has once again suffered a large-scale information leak. This time, Game Freak, a company that creates Pokémon games, has experienced problems.

Here's What We Know

The company claims that more than "2,000 pieces of employee information" were stolen, including full names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.

According to VGC, content related to the company and the Pokémon franchise has also been stolen and is being shared. However, this content is not mentioned in Game Freak's statement. So now you can find documentation, game codes, and references to various projects on the Internet, but we will not publish links to such materials.

Game Freak claims that the vulnerability that caused this problem has already been fixed.
