6/20 - Hijacked Account Suspension

Thank you for using Niconico

Although we had reported a leak of user information and advised Niconico users to change their passwords in a separate blog post the other day, it has come to our attention that some accounts were hijacked by third parties despite this warning.

Hijacked accounts have been temporarily suspended and cannot be logged into until a new password is created. Our sincerest apologies for this huge inconvenience, but we ask for affected users' cooperation in this matter.

Note that users that previously changed their password should not be affected by this.
