The hacker group that attacked Insomniac demanded a ransom of 50 BTC (about 2 million USD) to not reveal the confidential data they stole. The ransom was not paid and the information – 1.67 terabytes of data – was released including videos and images of Marvel’s Wolverine, Insominac’s projected release schedule until the early 2030s… The horror especially the data also includes personal information of employees such as passport scans.
