Sony Faces Cybersecurity Challenge Following Alleged Ransomware Attack On Insomniac Games

Sony is investigating claims by the Rhysida ransomware group that it stole sensitive data from Insomniac Games, including personal information for the voice actor who portrayed Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2.

Some of the data published by Rhysida reportedly includes details about Insomniac’s upcoming Wolverine game, including a screenshot and some character art that Cyber Daily wrote “seems to relate to other Marvel characters” from the game.

The outlet also says the data included scans of Insomniac employees’ passports, as well as one for Yuri Lowenthal, who has voiced Peter Parker in several Marvel productions, including Insomniac’s Spider-Man games.

According to a statement published by Eurogamer, Sony is “aware of reports” that there was a cyberattack at Insomniac Games, but that it doesn’t have reason to believe that any other Sony divisions were affected by this breach.
