Ubisoft, a video game company in France, has disclosed that a cyber security incident temporarily disrupted some games, systems and services.
US-based graphics chip maker Nvidia and South Korean giant Samsung suffered a data breach this month.
Ubisoft said its IT teams are working with leading external IT experts to investigate the issue.
“As a precautionary measure we initiated a company-wide password reset. Also, we can confirm that all our games and services are functioning normally and that at this time there is no evidence any player personal information was accessed or exposed as a by-product of this incident,” Ubisoft said in a news statement.
The hacking group behind Nvidia and Samsung took credit for Ubisoft data breach.
In a Telegram channel allegedly run by LAPSUS$, the group took responsibility for the Ubisoft incident, reports The Verge.
Nvidia said hackers leaked employee credentials and proprietary information. “We have no evidence of ransomware being deployed on the Nvidia environment or that this is related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” Nvidia said.
Samsung said hackers stole internal company data and source code for Galaxy devices. “There has been no personal data breach, although leaked information includes some source codes necessary to run the Galaxy phones,” Samsung said.
