Ubisoft is investigating whether it suffered a breach after images of the company's internal software and developer tools were leaked online.

We are aware of an alleged data security incident and are currently investigating. We don't have more to share at this time,"

Ubisoft said in a statement to BleepingComputer. In a tweet, vx-underground says that an unknown threat actor told them that they breached Ubisoft on December 20th. Once inside the company's systems, they said they planned to exfiltrate around 900GB of data.

"They aimed to exfiltrate 900Gb, but lost access"

Does this mean they didn't steal anything?

Breaking news: Ubisoft is working on Assassin's Creed and Just Dance from here to 2050.

 

[CherryFalls]

I really hope we keep getting more of these hacks.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I am confused wether to find this funny or feel empathetic for the people affected. I remember someone on Chris Williamson saying security breaches like this will become a much, much larger issue in the future and people right now are not taking this serious enough.

 

[Darkkahn]

Finally! Maybe now we can get some Ass Creed leaks!

 

[HL3.exe]

Yo, hackers are on it lately.
Not good.

Edit: 'not good' as in, security is lax or not up to snuff. Personally don't care if details leak, as Unseen64 enjoyer. I wish companies were more open. However, I condemn leaking personally info. That's terrible and scary for the people involved.

 

[AlphaDump]

Citrix Netscaler or MoveIt vulns this year is popping all these organizations. I'm thinking this is what got Insomniac and Ubisoft.

I take that to mean that Ubi's security stopped shit before it could happen. So nothing was stolen.

Hackers going after the most uninteresting studios

 

[Fake]

The game awards show should reconsider the Breach of the Year category.

 

[crazyriddler]

I'm sure it will leak out that they have a game in development with watchtowers, huge map and lots of side tasks.

 

[Aldynes]

I don't mind some Splinter Cell leaks

 

[cormack12]

That's smaller than the next cod game

 

[reektann]

new Watch Dogs ARG ?

 

[HeWhoWalks]

I really hope we keep getting more of these hacks.

Until it happens to you.

899 gb of more assassin creed and far cry…. Joy

 

[Bojji]

Sony deserved to be hacked for that "bought" movies they removed (but insomniac was the biggest victim sadly) and... fuck Ubisoft and all corporations in general.

 

[LordCBH]

Fucking scum of the earth.

 

[Fbh]

Hackers right now are like

"E3 is dead? Well we'll make our own E3!!"

 

[Ar¢tos]

After seeing 900Gb of Ubisoft data they got bored, gave up and logged out?

 

[Senua]

 

[acm2000]

900GB? if its anything like their open world games its the same thing copy and pasted over and over again.

 

[Gudji]

E3 is here baby.

Ohh, good point. MoveIt especially got a lot of people including some gov agencies in US and EU.

Still, don't think that alone explains Insomniac.

Surely you jest

 

[nemiroff]

Why doesn't the headline match the content?

 

[StealthGoblin]

I'm all up for a linkedin leak or a YouTube snaffu but the illegally accessed stuff is where I draw my line.

I suspect there'll be a lot more of these.

 

[alphachino]

Finally! Maybe now we can get some Ass Creed leaks!

I actually read "Ass Crack leaks!"

I've been spending too much time on OnlyFans.

Spoiler

I've never visited OnlyFans

[MikeM]

Hackers be like "this is all the same shit just different colours and characters. This ain't worth anything."

 

[ADiTAR]

Maybe it'll give us an idea why it took them 6 years to release Mario+Rabbids 2.

What studio would please you and make you excited?

Are you talking about the Discovery stuff? Sony didn't remove them. They worked out a new license.

 

[Xyphie]

I'm betting that all of these hacks we've seen stems from WFH policies.

"They aimed to exfiltrate 900Gb, but lost access"

Does this mean they didn't steal anything?

Probably means they wanted to copy all 900GB of files, but were stopped a certain way through it and only managed to get what they could.

 

[Gaiff]

The individual had access for roughly 48 hours until administration realized something was off and access was revoked.

Yeah, they realized it was Ubisoft trash and kicked him out for his own good.

 

[Bojji]

Surely you jest

Why, they only want to suck our wallets dry, they don't even care about using that money for proper security. But I'm salty in general right now and everything pisses me off...

I didn't know about this. So content they removed is available again?

They never removed it. They said they were going to, but reversed course, thankfully.

Sony will not be deleting Discovery TV shows, have updated liscensing agreement with Warner

Fuck Ubisoft as a company, but I feel bad for the developers who worked hard on stuff.
