Insomniac hacker releases more than 1.3 million stolen files

Last week, ransomware group Rhysida threatened to release sensitive data about PlayStation’s Insomniac Games, its employees, and its upcoming games if it wasn’t paid for the data.

Rhysida published data online which appeared to corroborate its claim that it had successfully hacked the Sony-owned studio, including an annotated screenshot from Insomniac’s upcoming Wolverine game.

The group threatened to publish the stolen data within seven days, but first offered it for auction with a starting price of 50 Bitcoins (approximately $2 million).

Rhysida has now posted more than 1.3 million files totalling 1.67 terabytes to its darknet site. Around 98% of the stolen data has allegedly been released.

The files appear to include an unprecedented amount of information and assets for Insomniac’s future projects, including the upcoming Wolverine game, a publishing agreement with Marvel that promises future games, and internal HR documents, budgets, and more.

It’s not yet clear how much of this confidential information has been included in the hack, nor is it clear if any of it was part of the section that may have been sold on to another party.
