A ransomware group claims to have hacked Epic Games and stolen nearly 200 GB of data.
As reported today by Cyber Daily, ransomware gang Mogilevich, a relative newcomer to the scene, claimed to have attacked Epic Games' servers and have stolen 189 gigabytes of data, which include email, passwords, full name, payment information, source code and more. The stolen data is also up for sale, although no price was mentioned, and the deadline is set to March 4th.

As the ransomware group hasn't provided any proof for their claims, it is hard to say if they managed to steal anything from Epic Games. The company has yet to release an official statement on the matter as well. Nevertheless, we advise you to change the password of your Epic Games account to be on the safe side.
The Fortnite developer is the latest gaming giant to have been the target of ransomware gangs. Late last year, Insomniac Games was hacked, and all sorts of private data were released to the public, such as personal information of current and past employees, source codes for multiple titles, slides detailing future plans, and even an early build of Marvel's Wolverine. CAPCOM was also the target of a ransomware attack a few years back, and the data that was made public revealed a timeline for future titles, among other things.
