On November 11, SHIFT UP and Level Infinite announced details regarding the official PC client for *Goddess of Victory: NIKKE* and revealed that they would release an update tomorrow, November 12, to further enhance security.
The issue had already been resolved as of November 4; additional security measures will be implemented on the 12th
The distribution of malicious software, which reportedly began in late October, stemmed from a domain hijacking incident around the end of September. For the background and details regarding this incident, please refer to our previous article.
An announcement posted early this morning, November 11, indicated that additional security measures would be implemented.
Security measures for the PC launcher related to this incident were completed on November 4, and we have now blocked the further spread of malicious software via the PC launcher.
To prevent similar security incidents from recurring in the future, we will further strengthen the security standards of the PC launcher.
Therefore, on Thursday, November 12 (UTC+9), we plan to implement an update that will strengthen verification of integrity and the reliability of sources throughout the entire process—from resource transfer to download and execution.
We will continue to monitor the security status of the PC Launcher and make necessary improvements to maintain an environment where you can safely enjoy the game.
Although the official PC Launcher is currently functioning normally, users who used the launcher prior to the implementation of security measures on November 4 may still have malicious software remaining on their computers; they are urged to perform a security check following the provided instructions.
Please check the official announcement for details on these steps.
