Street Fighter V: Latest PC update briefly opened up system access via backdoors

26 Sep 2016

Reddit users were pretty quick to point out that a recent Street Fighter V PC update accidentally opened up computers to backdoor attacks.

A file named “Capcom.sys” was placed in an updated PC’s System32 folder, which could potentially open up backdoors for others to take advantage of.

Thankfully, Capcom was pretty quick to sort the issue.

Make sure to apply the most recent update to keep your PC secure.

Street Fighter V is available on Windows PC and PS4.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
