Internet security is essential, but unfortunately no one seems to be safe, not even a large company like Epic Games, which fell victim to a massive hack.
A hacker gang calling itself Mogilevich claims to have carried out a massive hack against Epic Games, seizing nearly 200 gigabytes of the company’s internal data. According to information from Cyber Daily, the group has disclosed details of this alleged intrusion into the company’s systems on its Darknet Leaks page.
A huge hack for Epic Games
The message published by the hacker gang states: “ We quietly launched an attack on Epic Games’ servers “. They claim to have access to sensitive data such as emails, passwords, full names, payment information, software source code and other data, all totaling 189 GB.
The group also offers to sell this data and provides a link for employees of the company or anyone who wishes to purchase this information. They give an ultimatum of March 4th to sell the data, but do not specify the amount demanded or what they plan to do if no one responds to their offer.
The law of series?
Epic Games was contacted by Videogameschronicle for comment but has not yet publicly responded to these allegations. Mogilevich is described as a relatively new hacker group that targeted Nissan subsidiary Infiniti USA last week before Epic Games. So far, the group has not provided any concrete evidence of the success of their hack against Epic Games.

MAJ: Epic responded to Videogameschronicle. They are investigating, but there is currently no evidence of such a hack.
This situation is reminiscent of the case of the attack on Insomniac Games in late 2023 by the Rhysida group, which published data online as evidence of its hacking attack, including an annotated screenshot of the next Wolverine game. The group then threatened to publish the stolen data within seven days and initially auction it off for starting at 50 Bitcoins (around $2 million).
