Here's What We Know

Eurogamer portal took a comment from Sony, the company said the following:

"We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack. We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted".

As a reminder, the attackers from a group called Rhysida have obtained screenshots and materials about the new Marvel's Wolverine game, as well as documents of a number of employees, including Yuri Lowenthal, the actor who voiced Peter Parker in the Marvel's Spider-Man games.

The hackers demanded a ransom of 50 bitcoins (about $2 million) from Insomniac Games. They gave the company a week to make a decision, but have already started looking for buyers for the stolen information through an auction.
