The confirmed data is 346,247 email addresses registered to THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS plus internal identifiers used for Bandai Namco ID management. Names, addresses, purchase history, login passwords and credit card details are not part of the leaked data. Ymir Link reported the signs of intrusion to Bandai Namco Entertainment on October 26. The email delivery service for THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS that was affected has been suspended, while Bandai Namco ID and THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS themselves remain usable. The companies reported the matter to the Personal Information Protection Commission, are still investigating cause and scope with Ymir Link, and will contact affected users individually. No secondary damage has been confirmed, but the notice warns of spoofing and phishing mail sent to the leaked addresses.","whyItMatters":"The same week brought a second disclosure: on October 26 Bandai Namco Holdings logistics unit Bandai Logipal reported unauthorized access that may have exposed names, addresses and phone numbers tied to Ichiban Kuji ONLINE deliveries, with the record count still unknown.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe count of affected users is still being checked on one front. Bandai Namco Entertainment said the impact on other user environments entrusted to Ymir Link is not yet settled, so 346,247 may not be the final figure for the wider Bandai Namco ID email service.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe notice tells users how the company will handle outreach: when Bandai Namco Entertainment sends mail about the incident, it will leave URLs out of the body so recipients can distinguish it from forgeries. Users are asked not to open links or enter details in suspicious messages, and a dedicated inquiry form is open for questions about the Ymir Link access.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA separate breach sits alongside this one. Bandai Logipal, the logistics subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings, reported unauthorized access to a system it manages, and delivery information for Ichiban Kuji ONLINE orders, for which BANDAI SPIRITS consigns shipping work to Logipal, may have leaked. Names, addresses and phone numbers are the data at risk there; credit card information is not included and no misuse has been confirmed. Logipal\u0026#39;s shipping system has been stopped since October 26 for a full inspection and stays offline until safety is confirmed, with the record count promised in a later update.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bandai Namco's leak stops at 346,247 email addresses, but those addresses are still deliverable. The phishing warning turns a contained breach into an ongoing risk for every THE Gundam Base Members registrant.","twitterPost":"Email addresses are the leak's low-value part. The phishing warning is what makes 346,247 stolen addresses a live problem for THE Gundam Base Members.","threadsPost":"The leaked fields from THE Gundam Base Members are narrow: email addresses and Bandai Namco ID identifiers, no passwords or card numbers. That containment cuts the other way. The addresses still work, and Bandai Namco's own notice warns of spoofing and phishing mail aimed at them.","newsletterBlurb":"Ymir Link, a contractor handling email for Bandai Namco ID, was accessed without authorization on October 26, exposing 346,247 addresses registered to THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS. No passwords or card data are involved, but the company is warning about phishing mail. A second incident at Bandai Logipal may have exposed delivery details for Ichiban Kuji ONLINE orders.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"4Gamer.net\",\"url\":\"https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20261028032/\",\"title\":\"Unauthorized Access at Bandai Namco ID Contractor; \\\"THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS\\\" - Over 340,000 Email Addresses Leaked\"},{\"source\":\"Inside\",\"url\":\"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/10/28/189980.html\",\"title\":\"Bandai Namco leaks email addresses and other data for about 340,000 members: \\\"THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS\\\" registrant info affected by unauthorized access to contractor\"},{\"source\":\"Game Spark\",\"url\":\"http://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/10/28/174181.html\",\"title\":\"Bandai Namco leaks email addresses and other data for about 340,000 members: \\\"THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS\\\" registrant information due to unauthorized access to contractor\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":8451,"outputTokens":1174,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1793179170,"createdAt":"2026-10-28T09:15:28.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-28T09:18:25.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-28T09:18:25.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_0cfeb15f9b79dfdc35dfd52c","canonicalTitle":"バンダイナムコ、会員約34万件のメールアドレスなどが漏えい…「THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS」登録者情報、委託先への不正アクセスのため","representativeArticleId":"a_38e3023b796d79363063836b","sourceCount":3,"writtenSourceCount":3,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":false,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS\"],\"studios\":[\"Bandai Namco\"],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"industry\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-28T07:55:02.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-28T08:55:29.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-28T09:18:24.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"4Gamer.net","url":"https://www.4gamer.net/games/999/G999905/20261028032/","title":"「バンダイナムコID」の委託先で不正アクセス。「THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS」，メールアドレス34万件超が漏えい"},{"source":"Game Spark","url":"http://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/10/28/174181.html","title":"バンダイナムコ、会員約34万件のメールアドレスなどが漏えい…「THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS」登録者情報、委託先への不正アクセスのため"},{"source":"Inside","url":"https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2026/10/28/189980.html","title":"バンダイナムコ、会員約34万件のメールアドレスなどが漏えい…「THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS」登録者情報、委託先への不正アクセスのため"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS"],"studios":["Bandai Namco"],"people":[],"type":"news","domain":"industry","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":["Bandai Namco Entertainment and BANDAI SPIRITS announced on October 27, 2026 that 346,247 email addresses registered to THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS had leaked.","The leak came from unauthorized access at contractor Ymir Link, which reported the intrusion to Bandai Namco Entertainment on October 26.","The leaked data also includes internal identifiers for Bandai Namco ID management but not names, addresses, purchase history, passwords or credit card information.","The affected email delivery service for THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS has been suspended while Bandai Namco ID and THE GUNDAM BASE MEMBERS remain available."],"pageLinks":{"healthSlugs":["the-gundam-base-members","bandai-namco"],"storySlugs":[],"entities":[{"slug":"the-gundam-base-members","supported":0,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":1,"overall":"unverified","story_count":1,"has_dossier":false},{"slug":"bandai-namco","supported":4,"disputed":0,"contradicted":0,"unverified":18,"overall":"green","story_count":20,"has_dossier":true}],"stories":[],"entitiesOk":true,"storiesOk":true}}
