The latest data leak of Insomniac Games has taken the internet by storm. A notorious ransomware group named ‘Rhysida’ last week revealed that they had stolen data from the game developers and were selling it in auction to whoever was willing to buy it for $2 million or 50 bitcoins.
However, after no one was willing to buy the data, the group published the data online. The data is now available for anyone to access on the internet. The leaked information revealed a lot of details about the studio including its employee’s details as well as information about its future projects.
