Video game company Ubisoft has suffered a ‘cyber security incident’ that caused temporary disruption to some of its games, systems, and services.
The rumors of a cyber attack against Ubisoft were circulating online in the last few days when multiple users reported problems accessing some services of the gaming firms.
The company confirmed that their IT teams are working with leading external experts to investigate the issue. As a precautionary measure they have initiated a company-wide password reset.
The video game company also assured that all their games and services are functioning normally and that there is no evidence of any player personal information being accessed or exposed due to this incident.
The company is investigating the incident and are estimating its impact on data and infrastructure.
There are rumors that Lapsus$ gang may have breached the company network and exfiltrated internal data.
The cybercriminal group has recently stolen sensitive data from giant firms, including NVIDIA, and Samsung that already disclosed a data breach.
The Lapsus$ ransomware gang announced that they are starting to recruit insiders employed within major technology giants and ISPs, which include companies like Microsoft, Apple, EA Games and IBM. Their scope of interests includes – major telecommunications companies such as Claro, Telefonica and AT&T.
Ubisoft has also suffered a cyber incident in December that resulted in unauthorized access to ‘Just Dance’ user data. However, the security breach was caused by a misconfiguration.
