Rhysida Leaks Insomniac Wolverine Video Game and Future Projects
Rhysida decided to release some of the files it exfiltrated from its most recent exploits.
Insomniac Games, a game development studio under Sony’s ownership, reportedly experienced a significant ransomware attack, marking a substantial breach in gaming data security for 2023.
The compromised data, totaling a massive 1.67 terabytes, encompasses sensitive information such as upcoming projects, gaming models, unreleased game assets, story spoilers, internal communications, and personal details of employees, including passport scans and compensation figures.
The ransomware group responsible for the attack specifically targeted Insomniac Games due to its prominent position and success in the gaming industry, making it an attractive prospect for considerable financial gain.
Rhysida demanded amounted to $2 million, a substantial sum that would pose a challenge for most organizations. The severity of the breach came to light through an initial report by Cybertecwiz last week.
The alleged breach details disclosed gameplay elements, characters, and voice artists involved in the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine video game. Despite attempts to verify these claims, Insomniac Games has not issued an official statement or response, leaving the authenticity of the revelations uncertain.
