The Pokémon Company has cancelled orders for its 30th Anniversary Card product line after disclosing a cyber incident that may have compromised customer information. The company has not yet detailed the scope of the breach or specified which customer data was potentially exposed, though the decision to scrub Anniversary Card orders suggests the incident occurred during or immediately after that product's sales window. This marks a significant disruption to what was presumably a marquee release for the franchise's milestone celebration.
- The Anniversary Card line has been pulled entirely; customers with existing orders are being notified of cancellations.
- The nature and scale of the data exposure remain unclear, pending further disclosure from The Pokémon Company.
- The incident underscores ongoing security vulnerabilities in high-profile merchandise drops tied to major gaming properties.
