According to VGC , Spider-Man 2 developer Insomniac Games is reportedly the victim of a cyberattack and risks the leakage of sensitive data about the company, its employees, and upcoming games.
According to a report by Cyber Daily, the Rhysida ransomware group has released data online with the intention of proving its claim that it successfully hacked into a Sony-owned studio. The data released by the hacking group includes an annotated screenshot from Insomniac Games' upcoming Wolverine game, along with images of other Marvel characters that will appear in the game.
Wolverine game data may have been leaked following the Insomniac hack.
Additionally, Rhysida also provided scanned copies of company employees' passports, a personal document related to Spider-Man voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, internal emails, and other confidential documents. The hacker group is currently threatening to release the stolen data within seven days, but is also holding an auction with a starting bid of 50 Bitcoin (approximately $2 million).
Insomniac's Wolverine game was announced in September 2021, alongside the recently released Spider-Man 2. Although set in the same universe as the Spider-Man games, Wolverine is marketed as a standalone game directed by Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, the creative lead of Spider-Man Miles Morales .
Sony Interactive Entertainment said in a statement sent to VGC that it is reviewing reports of the incident. The company stated: "We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyberattack. We are currently investigating and believe that other parts of SIE or Sony were not affected by this attack."
