Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developer reportedly targeted by hackers threatening to leak Marvel's Wolverine details

If you received new Lego sets for the holidays and you've been busy piecing them together for the past week, pick up the pace. I'm kidding of course, take your time, but Lego has just made a lot of new sets available to kick off the new year. Most of the sets had been revealed ahead of time, but now that 2024 is officially underway, they're available to buy through the official Lego store.

Nearly two weeks ago, Burbank-based Insomniac Games, a renowned game developer with nearly thirty years of history, was the target of a ransomware attack.

Marvel's Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games has now released a statement addressing the ransomware attack on its studio earlier this month, the release of stolen data this week, and the spread of information on upcoming projects now circulating the internet.

The recent Insomniac ransomware leak has been an eye-wateringly large scale one, revealing details on a number of upcoming titles planned for the next decade or so – from Spider-Man games and an X-Men series to a new Ratchet and Clank instalment and a new IP – as well as undisclosed sales figures for previously-released titles like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Alongside that, much more recent sales figures for Insomniac’s latest release have also emerged.

Seven days ago, on December 12, ransomware group Rhysida hacked into popular game developer Insomniac's online database and demanded a payment of 50 BTC (bitcoin) from the company, which amounts to roughly 2 million dollars. The hackers said unless they were paid within 7 days, the 1.67 terabytes of internal data, which include 1.3 million files about the company's upcoming projects, personal staff information, and more, would be released online. Now, seven days later, today, December 19, Rhysida group has leaked 98 percent of the data on its darknet leak site, after Insomniac refused to pay the criminals. The leaked data has revealed information about Marvel's Spider-Man 3 and Wolverine games, which are currently being developed by the game company.

Last week, a massive amount of data was stolen from Spider-Man developer Insomniac games. Now the hackers who stole that data have leaked it online, detailing internal plans of the studio that stretch across the next decade.

Developers around the world have shared messages of support for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developer Insomniac Games after a group of hackers targeted the studio.

Insomniac Games has suffered a large-scale leak following a recent ransomware attack, and alongside plans for multiple major upcoming titles planned for the next several years, the leak also includes details on the development budgets and sales figures for a number of titles, both released and upcoming.

Details about Marvel's Wolverine and other Insomniac games have reportedly been made public by hackers.

Detailed plans revealing the future projects of PlayStation-owned Spider-Man developer Insomniac have been published online, stolen from the company by hackers.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the biggest games of the year, and we were big fans, even if it didn't stray enough from the established Insomniac formula for our taste. Still, it seems we weren't the only ones surprised to find that, despite being nominated in seven separate categories, Sony's latest PlayStation exclusive didn't bag a single statue at The Game Awards.

Insomniac Games, the PlayStation first-party studio behind the recent Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine, has been hacked, with sensitive information currently held hostage in a brazen digital heist.
