Capcom has warned players to beware of emails claiming to contain “early access invitations” to Resident Evil Village, confirming that it is a phishing scam. The fake emails that circulate have the sender’s address “no-reply (at) capcom (dot) com” in an attempt to impersonate the company.
“These messages are NOT from Capcom and appear to be phishing attempts by unauthorized third parties,” Capcom Europe said in a press release. “If you have received such a message, DO NOT download any files or reply and delete the message immediately.”
Any legitimate early access news for Resident Evil Village will be revealed on Capcom’s official social media accounts.
This potential scam could be linked to a data breach the publisher suffered last year. The personal data of approximately 390,000 people, including customers, employees and partners, was leaked online following an attack on Capcom’s servers.
This ransomware attack later led to leaks about future Capcom games, including information on Resident Evil Village and Monster Hunter Rise. The police are currently investigating the hacking.
