Hackers have breached the network of gaming giant Electronic Arts (EA) and claim to have stolen roughly 750 GB of data, including game source code and debug tools.
EA confirmed that “It was not a ransomware attack, that a limited amount of code and related tools were stolen, and we do not expect any impact to our games or our business.”
Stolen EA data worth $28 million
The attackers claim to have access to all of EA’s services, telling customers willing to pay $28 million for the stolen data that they will also gain “full capability of exploiting on all ea services,” as first reported by Motherboard.
In all, the hackers claim to have stolen a massive trove of data from EA’s network, including:
- FrostBite game engine source code and debug tools
- FIFA 21 matchmaking server code
- FIFA 22 API keys and SDK & debug tools
- debug tools, SDK, and API keys
- proprietary EA games frameworks
- XBOX and SONY private SDK & API key

They also shared screenshots of directory listings and source code as proof that the stolen information is legitimate.
