Goddess of Victory: NIKKE PC Launcher Compromised in Supply-Chain Attack

The developers of Goddess of Victory: NIKKE have confirmed that hackers tampered with the game's PC launcher scripts in a supply-chain attack, distributing malware capable of stealing credentials and cryptocurrency wallet data. According to a report from BleepingComputer published on 2026-11-04, the compromise was discovered when unusual activity was detected in the launcher distribution. The tampered scripts allowed threat actors to execute remote access trojans and data-stealing malware on the systems of users who downloaded the compromised version. The exact scope of affected users and the specific malware families involved remain under investigation. The game's studios, Nikke Studios and Nikke Interactive, have not detailed a patch timeline but have advised users to verify launcher integrity and obtain updates exclusively from official channels.
