Sony Probes Alleged Hack of Spider-Man Developer Insomniac Games

Sony is investigating a potential hack of Insomniac Games, the developer behind the popular Spider-Man series. Ransomware gang Rhysida claims to have stolen data from Insomniac and is attempting to auction it off for 50 bitcoin ($2 million). The group has posted snapshots of stolen data, including emails, tax forms, and passports allegedly belonging to Insomniac employees. Sony has stated that it is currently investigating the situation and does not believe any other divisions have been impacted. Rhysida is an emerging ransomware threat that has been targeting various sectors since May, often exploiting organizations lacking multi-factor authentication or using phishing emails to gain access to IT systems.
