Vice and the BBC report that around 780GB of data was stolen from EA Games, but not player and customer data. The company is one of the largest game developers in the world. It develops and publishes major games such as Battlefield, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, The Sims and Titanfall, as well as a wide range of sports games.
An EA spokesman said: “We are investigating a recent case of intrusion into our network where a limited amount of game code and related tools have been stolen. We did not have access to player data and we have no reason to believe that there is a risk to their privacy. "
The company said it has already improved security and does not expect any impact to its games or business. It was also not a ransomware attack and happened recently at Colonial Pipeline . Finally, it believes that none of its major competitors would ever use such stolen data.
