Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine developer Insomniac Games has reportedly been hacked by a ransomware group looking to auction the data off. The notorious group, Rhysida, is looking for 50 bitcoin, or $2 million, in an auction posted on its website. Sony Interactive Entertainment, which owns Insomniac Games, is looking into the reported hack. A cybersecurity news website, CyberDaily, first reported the breach.
“We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack,” an SIE representative told Polygon. “We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted.”
Rhysida posted a collage of screenshots on its website, purportedly its proof of the breach. The information published appears to include emails between Insomniac staff, employment documents, Marvel’s Wolverine screenshots, and passports or other government documents for former and current Insomniac Games staff — including Spider-Man 2 voice actor Yuri Lowenthal.
