Important: Nikke PC Launcher Compromised - Oni - 11-04-2026
Goddess of Victory: Nikke's PC launcher was recently compromised in a supply-chain level attack. This can lead to credential stealing and RAT-centric function in terms of malware. Several Hololive streamers were recently sponsored and this has had an adverse affect on the trust of ShiftUp.
If you have recently played or used the PC client, I highly advise you read the Gist and focus on eliminating the threat.
Among the notable threats, the pushed updates have the ability to:
- Steal accounts/credentials
- Access files and run commands
- Steal crypto
- Maintain access
To find out if you are affected quickly:
- Do not run the Nikke client if you have not ran it recently.
- Check Launcher/intl_service/debug.log for entries mentioning k2f_chan. If you see this, you are likely infected.
- If you believe you are affected or updated/used the launcher during the affected period, I highly recommend you perform a clean Windows install and change all credentials.
Here's a Github Gist, with information:
