attempts

The Pokemon Company said it detected hacking attempts against some of its users and reset those user account passwords. A spokesperson for the company said there was no breach, just a series of hacking attempts against some users. To protect our customers we have reset some passwords which prompted the message,” said Daniel Benkwitt, a Pokemon Company spokesperson. The description of the Pokemon account breaches sounds like credential stuffing, where malicious hackers use usernames and passwords stolen from other breaches and reuse them on other sites. For its part, the Pokemon Company does not allow its users to enable two-factor on their accounts, when TechCrunch checked.
