Insomniac finally responds to massive data breach and Wolverine leaks
Insomniac GamesInsomniac Games has finally issued a statement on the massive data breach that leaked of their upcoming games.
Earlier this week, Insomniac Games, the developers behind PlayStation’s Spider-Man games and Ratchet & Clank were hacked. Individuals breached company documents, stole sensitive employee data, and took gameplay files.
The group then went after Insomniac and threatened to leak the data unless they were paid a ransom. When Insomniac refused, the hackers spent no time leaking all the gameplay and crucial info about the upcoming titles on the internet.
What followed was social media chaos with fans sharing the Wolverine footage all over the internet. Well, Insomniac has now broken its silence and issued a statement.
