2K confirmed on September 20, that the hacker had indeed gained access of the customer support system using credentials of a vendor.
The company also confirmed that the hacker had sent out malicious emails to some of its customers, and suggested that they not act on any emails received from 2K Support. They also told users to change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication.

Alternatively, you should also do a full virus scan of your PC if you opened an email from 2K support recently. 2K said that they will users know when it will be safe to interact with emails from support again.
