Marvel's Wolverine leaked following Insomniac Games hack

Sony stated that it was aware of the claim and is looking into the matter. The company said that no other Sony division has been affected by the hacking incident.

We are aware of reports that Insomniac Games has been the victim of a cyber security attack," Sony said. "We are currently investigating this situation. We have no reason to believe that any other SIE or Sony divisions have been impacted."

This isn't the first time this year that Sony has been the target of a similar hacking incident. In September, the company investigated reports that a ransomware group broke into Sony's systems. The hackers threatened to sell off allegedly stolen data from the security breach. RansomedVC, another ransomware group, claimed responsibility for the security breach.

A zero-day vulnerability in Progress Software's MOVEit managed file transfer (MFT) software also affected Sony in June. The hacking group CI0p gained access to the files of hundreds of companies using the software. The company revealed 6,800 of its present and previous employees were affected by the breach. It is unclear what information was stolen, but reports indicate that it was personal in nature.

Hacking has become very commonplace in the gaming industry, especially in studios with highly anticipated titles. The security breach at Rockstar involving the theft of GTA 6 files is probably the most well-known incident in recent times. The hacker was reportedly pulled off by a teen from the UK with a history of targeting software companies.
