Ubisoft reported a cyber attack that hit them last week. In the attack, a number of games, game developer systems and services were disrupted.
Ubisoft has yet to reveal who was behind the cyber attack, but the Lapsus$ hacker syndicate admitted to being the culprit. The syndicate has previously claimed to be behind the cyberattacks against Samsung and Nvidia.
So far, Ubisoft has found no signs that information belonging to users of their games has been leaked to the perpetrators and promises that all their games and services are functioning normally.
As a precaution, they immediately reset the password at the French company, as quoted by us from The Verge, Monday (14/3/2022).
This incident comes shortly after a number of major hacking cases were revealed to the public. Like the hack against Nvidia which they confirmed on March 1 last, and Samsung on March 7 last.
After that, the syndicate allegedly from South America also claimed to have succeeded in hacking Vodafone, a British cellular operator. However, the cellular operator admitted that he is still investigating the claim.
"We are currently investigating the claims with the authorities, and at this time we cannot comment on the veracity of these claims," the spokesperson said.
In the incident that occurred at Nvidia, the perpetrator leaked employee data and a number of confidential company data, which amounted to 1TB and contained 70 thousand Nvidia employee login data.
Meanwhile at Samsung, hackers stole internal company data and source code for their Galaxy phones. The leaked data reportedly reaches 190GB, one of which contains data encryption and source code for a number of their latest cellphones.
The leaked Samsung data is also alleged to contain algorithms for Samsung's biometric system, including the source code for Samsung Accounts, the login system used on all Samsung devices.
