  • •Malicious code was injected into NIKKE's PC launcher via Level Infinite's CDN.
  • •The attack allows remote access to infected machines, compromising sensitive data.
  • •Players are advised to avoid using the launcher and secure their accounts immediately.

The PC launcher for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE was reportedly compromised in a supply-chain attack, allowing attackers to install a remote-access tool on players' computers. Analysis indicates that malicious code was added to three official JavaScript files on Level Infinite's CDN starting September 27, 2026. From November 1, users opening the launcher could inadvertently download and execute a remote-control agent. This agent could execute commands, access files, and capture sensitive information such as browser passwords and cryptocurrency wallet data. Level Infinite has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident. Players are advised to refrain from using the launcher until a fix is confirmed and to take steps to secure their accounts. The attack appears to have been active for several weeks, with modified files still being served as late as November 3. The situation is ongoing, with players sharing their experiences on various forums.
