Insomniac Reports Data Breach Involving Employee Information, Game Development Details

Sony-owned video-game studio Insomniac released a statement Friday (Dec. 22) about a data breach that became known earlier this month. “We’re both saddened and angered about the recent criminal cyberattack on our studio and the emotional toll it’s taken on our dev team,” the company said in a post on X. “We have focused inwardly for the last several days to support each other.” The data stolen in the cyberattack includes personal information belonging to Insomniac’s current employees, former employees, and independent contractors, according to the post. It also includes early development details about a game the company is currently working on, Marvel’s Wolverine for PlayStation 5. “We continue working quickly to determine what data was impacted,” Insomniac said in the post.
