The report comes from Cyber Daily, who also broke the news of last year’s confirmed hack attack on Insomniac Games. The site claims that new ransomware group Mogilevich are the culprits, as per the screencap of a darkweb posting above, and that the hackers are now trying to get Epic or another party to pay up for the return of the data, with a deadline of 4th March.

Epic, however, say that they’ve yet to see any proof that a ransomware attack has taken place. “We are investigating but there is currently zero evidence that these claims are legitimate,” a spokesperson told Eurogamer this morning.

    Good thing Epic doesn’t have my card information because I only use it for the free games. Now if this was steam I be worried.

        But you’ll get free credit checks for a year so nothing to fear

      It’s almost surprising, for good shitty EGS is, that they don’t makes you save a payment method to check out the free games.

        I can’t see any listed in the Manage Payment Management section.

        I assume I never saved them, when I bought Outer Wilds years ago.
