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.
Comcast has confirmed that hackers exploiting a critical-rated security vulnerability accessed the sensitive information of almost 36 million Xfinity customers.
Hackers have used the CitrixBleed vulnerability to hack into big-name victims, including aerospace giant Boeing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and international law firm Allen & Overy.
The notice doesn’t say how many Xfinity customers have been impacted, and Comcast spokesperson Joel Shadle declined to say when asked by TechCrunch.
In a filing with Maine’s attorney general, Comcast confirmed that almost 35.8 million customers are affected by the breach.
Comcast’s latest earnings report shows the company has over 32 million broadband customers, suggesting this breach has impacted most, if not all Xfinity customers.
