Insomniac Games Cyberattack: Sensitive Data Compromised and Future of Wolverine Game in Question

Over a week after the cyberattack on Insomniac Games, the studio has finally issued a public statement addressing the incident. In a tweet shared on Friday, the studio expressed both sadness and anger regarding the attack and acknowledged the emotional toll it has taken on their development team. Insomniac Games also confirmed that sensitive employee data, contractor data, and details about its upcoming Wolverine game were revealed as part of the attack. However, the studio remains resilient and stated that the game will continue as planned. It is worth noting that Sony, the parent company of Insomniac Games, previously stated that it did not believe any of its other divisions were impacted by the attack. The hacker group responsible for the attack, known as Rhysida, demanded a ransom payment of approximately $2 million worth of Bitcoin, which Sony and Insomniac Games did not appear to have paid. As a result, the stolen data was subsequently leaked, with a portion reportedly sold to unknown buyers and the majority released to the public.
