Following last week\u2019s PC launcher breach<\/a>, the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE<\/strong> team at Level Infinite is once again encouraging PC players to check if their systems have been compromised and to take additional account protection measures for any affected services. An update planned for November 12 at UTC+9 will be released to enhance the launcher\u2019s security.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When NIKKE is launched via the PC launcher, a built-in security check automatically detects any malicious software that may have been installed (the feature now includes support for multiple languages following the November 10 announcement<\/a>). A pop-up appears if any malware is found, prompting you to remove it. Level Infinite recommends closing all web browsers before opening the launcher.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing \u201cRemove\u201d from the pop-up removes any logs, DLLs, and registry entries affected by the launcher breach. If you don\u2019t get a pop-up within 2 minutes of opening the launcher, then your computer should be free from any malware distributed through NIKKE\u2019s launcher. A full step-by-step guide for checking your system using the PC launcher<\/a> can be found on the official NIKKE webpage.\u00a0 For those who don\u2019t have the game installed anymore or would like to conduct a manual security check, the manual guide<\/a> describes how to check your security logs and delete any abnormal files.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of which method you use, Level Infinite recommends changing all passwords, API keys, and access tokens on any affected PCs. Those who believe they might have been affected by the breach are advised to contact the Level Infinite Customer Support Center<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While security fixes for the launcher were completed on November 4 to prevent further distribution of malware, future updates to the launcher will be made to enhance its security. The upcoming November 12 update is meant to \u201cenhance integrity and source authenticity verification across the entire process\u2014from resource transmission to downloading and execution.\u201d The Goddess of Victory: NIKKE team will continue to monitor the security status of the launcher and make improvements as necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
