"We want to inform you that Crytek was the victim of a ransomware attack by some unknown cyber-criminals," Crytek said in a letter mailed to one of their customers impacted in the incident.
During that attack certain data had been encrypted and stolen from our network. We took immediate action to prevent the encrypton of our systems, further secure our environment, and initiate an internal and external investigation into the incident.
Crytek confirmed that Egregor operators later leaked documents stolen during the incident on their data leak site.
"Based on our investigation, the information in some case included individuals' first and last name, job title, company name, email, business address, phone number and country," Crytek revealed.
