Hackers turned Goddess of Victory: NIKKE into spyware. The developers issued a warning
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Hackers injected malicious scripts into the PC version of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, gaining the ability to steal files, take screenshots, and remotely execute commands on players' computers.
In recent weeks, hacker attacks on the gaming industry have become more frequent. Among the victims are already Sony, Bandai Namco, and Capcom, and now Goddess of Victory: NIKKE has become the perpetrators' target. Shift Up studio confirmed unauthorized interference with the game launcher's script files. Fixes have been released, but the extent of the damage is still unknown.
A risk of infection exists on all PCs where the game was launched starting from October 27. Malicious scripts installed spyware that allowed remote control of the system. Personal data, files, and users' money were put at risk.
Instructions for checking for infection were published on GitHub. To do this, you need to open the debug.log file in the game folder using a text editor. If the string “f2f_chan” is present in it, it is recommended to change all passwords and reinstall the operating system.
Fans also discovered that:
Since 27.09.2026, four JavaScript files on the Level Infinite CDN contained malicious code. The NIKKE PC launcher loads these files. (…) While the launcher was open, a hacker could execute any commands on the computer, read any files, and take screenshots.
