It's crazy how malware in the launcher is treated like a minor issue. The launcher could infect your computer again at any point if they ever let a domain expire again.

GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE Team
#NIKKE
@Kuolitee The delayed response.
The manual fix containing incorrect information.
Almost no communication for days.
Insulting compensation despite hours of labor users have to do to recover from the virus.
Still no info on if the launcher is safe for the future.
@BuDoU_1029_daYO I wiped my computer after saving important files. The. Reinstalled from a USB. Now I don't play Nikke on PC since we don't know if what happened could happen again in the future.
@unifla Yeah I wiped my entire OS and ran multiple deep scans. They still haven't given any additional info past the initial post so for all we know the launcher could infect everyone again whenever.
@YourPalRags Yeah, the VBs in 2077 have a suicidal in-group priority. If it wasn't for being able to kill them all, it would be the weakest part of the game.
It's crazy after the initial #Nikke hack response we still haven't heard anything else from ShiftUp, or Level Infinite.
They said the launcher was fixed but there has been no confirmation that the launcher is secured and this can't happen again.
I've given in. Time to reset my PC after the k2f_chan malware #NIKKE It'll be a good refresh I guess since Ive been using the same install for 7 years.
@YungExcal Damn I guess Nikke is just screwed then. LI hasn't made a statement yet outside of the one on Nikke's account so I doubt they care.
Do you play Nikke on PC or mobile?
@YungExcal Well it doesn't matter if it's LI or SU that steps in to help players. Though it's SU's game so I don't think LI really cares about the last damage to player trust. Though SU should probably close the launcher until a proper response can be made auditing the failure.
