The company confirmed this with a message to its fans. It was infiltrated, and the hacker in question apparently sent malware out to its fans, according to the company (via The Verge).<br \/>\nThe tech industry is being flooded with headlines of major corporations being hacked. Rockstar Games was recently hacked, and 90 videos of GTA VI were leaked. Along with that, other companies like Samsung and LastPass were recently hacked. There are even rumors floating around that TikTok was hacked.<br \/>\n2K Games was hacked<br \/>\n2K Games sent out a tweet to its fans explaining what\u2019s going on. In the message, the company says that an unauthorized 3rd-party (hacker) gained access to the company\u2019s help desk. How the hacker gained access is still unknown. But, since the hacker gained access to the help desk, they were able to send their own messages to certain 2K account owners.<\/p>\n<p>Hey folks, please read an important message from our Customer Support team. Thank you. pic.twitter.com\/yKI18eL7mY<br \/>\n\u2014 2K Support (@2KSupport) September 20, 2022<\/p>\n<p>The hacker was able to send out a message to users containing a link to a website. 2K Games didn\u2019t outright tell us what kind of malware you\u2019d be getting, but it sounds like a bad one. If you get any emails from 2K Games, don\u2019t open any of them. The company said that its help desk will be offline until further notice. If you get any communication from them in the meantime, it\u2019s not good news.<br \/>\nWhat to do if you click on the link<br \/>\nIf you clicked on the link, the company advises you to change any passwords you might have stored in your browser. Also, you\u2019ll want to enable two-factor authentication on any services that offer it. Next, check your email forwarding settings. This could mean that it could automatically send copy emails to others.<br \/>\nWe\u2019re not sure if these steps are indicative of this malware in particular or if they\u2019re just covering the bases. You\u2019ll also want to install a good virus protection program to give your computer a deep scrub.
