Indonesia Game Ratings Flaw Leaks 007: First Light Footage and Developer Data

The breach highlights weak safeguards at smaller ratings boards that handle sensitive pre-release material.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Monday that a security flaw in Indonesia’s Game Rating System exposed private videos submitted for age classification.
  • VGC verified that more than an hour of 007: First Light gameplay is circulating online, reportedly showing the ending six weeks before its May 27 launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox.
  • Footage from Bandai Namco’s Echoes of Aincrad also surfaced, while reports list Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse among affected submissions with no widely shared clips.
  • The leak also exposed thousands of developer email addresses, creating a risk of spam, phishing and unwanted contact beyond the spoiler threat.
  • Industry contacts say IGRS relies on manual review by a small team, and developers often submit story-heavy scenes for ratings, a mix that can increase the chance of links being exposed.
