According to recent reports, nearly 1 terabyte of data was compromised, including sensitive information such as details about 2000 current and former employees at the company, which includes:
- Full names

The attack did not only involve personal information; source codes for several Pokemon games were also leaked, along with details about the company’s future projects.

Among the leaked information are details about a movie that was in production titled “Pokemon Movie 24,” which was supposed to be more mature but may have been cancelled.
Additionally, there is talk of a new anime project codenamed “Reload,” as well as a new Detective Pikachu movie.
