The Rhysida hacker group is believed to have carried out a cyberattack against Insomniac Games and is now demanding a ransom, starting at 50 Bitcoin, or more than $2 million.
Sony, which owns the Spider-Man 2 and Ratchet & Clank franchises, is actively investigating the incident.
“We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack. We are currently investigating this situation,” Sony stated. “We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted.”
Rhysida hackers have given Insomniac a week to respond to their demands, but the alleged cyber attackers have already started auctioning off the data to the highest bidder, starting at 50 BTC.
“With only 7 days to go, seize the opportunity to bid on exclusive, one-of-a-kind, and impressive data,” the hackers wrote on their leak site. “Open your wallets and prepare to purchase exclusive data.”
