Insomniac Games Faces Ransomware Attack, Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine Data at Risk

Sony is investigating an alleged ransomware attack on Insomniac Games by the Rhysida group, which claims to have stolen sensitive data, including personal information of the voice actor for Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2. The group has posted some of the data as proof and is auctioning the full set for around $2 million worth of bitcoin. The data reportedly includes details about Insomniac's upcoming Wolverine game and scans of employees' passports. Sony has stated that it is aware of the reports but does not believe any other divisions were affected. This is not the first breach for Sony this year, and the Rhysida group's hacks are attributed to organizations lacking multi-factor authentication.
