Recently, Insinomniac Games, a well-known game development studio owned by Sony, was attacked by ransomware, resulting in a large amount of internal information leakage. According to Cyber Daily, a ransomware gang called Rhysida obtained about 167TB of data. Future plans for Insomniac Studios and Sony are also included.
Rhysida claimed that Insinomniac was their "easy target" and demanded a ransom of $2 million. In response, Sony Interactive Entertainment said: "We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyberattack and we are investigating the matter. There is no reason to believe that other Sony or Sony Interactive Entertainment affiliates are affected. ”
While we don't share the specific information that was leaked to avoid violating the illegal acquisition of information, this leak is undoubtedly one of the worst leaks in the gaming industry. The leaked information includes private information about developers, Marvel's Werewolf developed by Insomniac and related future titles, and even information from other Sony-owned game studios.
Developers such as Wushu Studios and Sony Santa Monica's Cory Balrog have expressed sympathy for Insomniac. "Game creators work hard to create work for everyone's entertainment, and it's brutal to see any team punished for malicious attacks and blackmail. Wushu Studios said. We will continue to monitor the further development of this matter, and will update this article as soon as there are any statements.
That's all for this news report.
