20 “pulls” for computer infection: developers of popular gacha angered players
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
The developers of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE apologized for distributing malicious code through the game launcher, which had been infecting users’ computers for about a week.
The creators of the PC version of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE confirmed that from October 27 to November 4, their launcher distributed malicious code injected by third parties. The Korean team has now issued an apology and promised to strengthen security.
The game client received a tool that checks files for malicious code upon launch. If the program detects unauthorized modifications, the user will receive a corresponding notification. The developers claim that the launcher is now completely secured and cleaned of malicious components.
The official website also published instructions for those who launched the game between October 27 and November 4. The creators recommend changing all passwords, as well as API keys and access tokens used by players.
As compensation to those affected, the developers are offering 20 free pulls in the gacha system. Many users consider such a reward completely disproportionate to what happened.
