Epic Games hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info

  • I've seen this screenshot doing the rounds but the Irish Dept. of Foreign Affairs has confirmed they've seen no evidence of a breach. Not sure how common it is but perhaps just a bluff to get some Bitcoin?

  • Wow.

    It almost seems mandatory to use different purchasing emails to limit fall out, and a credit card layer in between like Apple/Google pay or plastiq.

  • Login and payment info tells me this hack is not likely. Maybe a few accounts were sprayed.

  • The hack was fake

  • Uh oh, do they have my payment info from when I bought Castle of the Winds?

  • This website keeps making the claim that it's a ransomware attack, but neither the original tweet nor Epic's response seem to back that up. Looks like a run of the mill data exfiltration to me.

    Also this website has the most insane cookie consent flow I've seen yet. Shameful.
