Bleeping computer is reporting that Ubisoft had a data breach on 20th December and that the company’s internal software and developer tools were leaked online. The news came about as security research collective VX-Underground shared on social media screenshots of the company’s internal tools. They tweeted that the individual had access for roughly 48 hours until administration realised something was off and access was revoked. They aimed to exfiltrate roughly 900gb of data but lost access. Ubisoft issued the following statement to Bleeping Computer.
“We are aware of an alleged data security incident and are currently investigating. We don’t have more to share at this time,”
The Tweet says they aimed to exfilrate 900GB of data but lost access, just assuming that would mean the breach wasn’t successful. The game awards needs a new category, the breach of the year. Time to enable 2FA.
I hope this doesn’t affect the trilogy of Mario Rabbids.
I don’t think they need to worry about leaks of any of their future game plans, we already know they will either be Assassin creed-like clones or another Far Cry clone.
Ubisoft are one dimensional and when their devs actually have good ideas for interesting games, that should gave been a homerun, they screw it up with crap like toys to life requirements and splitting the content in partial payments just to play one game (Starlink).
The last really good game they did was pretty much a knockoff of Breath of the Wild, so yeah, nobody cares if they have leaks because Ubi is mediocre at best and boring at worst.
That’s great to hear.
