The number of people who received the media badge at E3 2019 seems to be more than 2000, and it is clear that their personal information was being leaked on the Internet.

When Kotaku in game media contacted Narwitz who found a data breach, 'I performed a procedure to make sure that the data wasn't available before I considered making a movie. When I searched the Internet archive, I could not find anything, and the page was 404. However, it seems that the data was cached somewhere else, so I made the movie public. Did not notice until they were disseminated, ”commented.
In addition, Game Informer, a foreign game media company, has pointed out that this data breach may cause ESAs to become involved in the General Public Data Protection Rules (GDPR) -related lawsuits.
