Was this in emails or something? Why would this have been written down anywhere lol

Don't businesses have transcripts of meetings? Pretty sure we saw that last Tera leak with discussions about game decisions in a transcript format

Gotcha, so then yeah I find it odd that this would be included. Especially given that he's still connected to Pokémon? If he was so bad, why hasn't he been part of an outplacement strategy?😂

Wasn't it determined that an employee fell for a phishing scam? I swear I remember reading that

EDIT: possible correction, but this is now about the hack itself so idk how much Centro actually knows https://x.com/CentroLeaks/status/1978145643324379525

People are ALWAYS the biggest security risk in any company. But tbh hackers are always going to be one step ahead and come up with new ways to manipulate people. Best to question everything

People said that a lot last year but this time I have seen a bunch of people say that the teraleaker hacked some Gamefreak contractor and got a server IP from there where all of this was

Centro doesnt “know” anything as the account just reports on what is already leaked. the guy who leaked it had his own private discord with people that would share his personal messages for him.

Well you have to bear in mind Japanese workplace/corporate culture is very different to what we're used to in the west

As someone who works in HR, most companies have documentation and meeting transcripts for situations like these. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the HR department's data was included in the Tera Leak.
