Insomniac Games Faces Ransomware Threat

 

Ransomware group Rhysida claims to have successfully hacked renowned video game developer Insomniac Games, posting limited data as proof. The leaked information includes an annotated screenshot from the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine game, along with character art suggesting other Marvel characters’ involvement. The gang has initiated an auction for the complete data set, setting a starting price of 50 bitcoins (over US$2 million), while warning Insomniac Games of a seven-day deadline before the full data release, which includes passport scans, internal emails, and confidential documents.

Insomniac Games, celebrated for its award-winning Spider-Man games and the ongoing development of Marvel’s Wolverine, faces a serious security breach by the Rhysida ransomware group. The leaked data not only includes sensitive information about the Wolverine game but also features passport scans of Insomniac employees, internal emails, and confidential documents. The hacker group has set up an auction for the entire data set, commencing with a starting bid of 50 bitcoins (equivalent to over US$2 million).

The auction by Rhysida adds a financial dimension to the cyber attack, making it a high-stakes situation for Insomniac Games. The gang’s tactic of auctioning the hacked data emphasizes their intention to profit from the stolen information. The seven-day ultimatum issued by Rhysida to Insomniac Games creates urgency, adding pressure on the renowned game developer to respond promptly to the ransomware group’s demands or risk the public release of sensitive and confidential data.
