Has Sony PlayStation been hacked in 2023?
Ransomed.vc alleges it has some 6,000 compromised files in total.
All the stolen data is reportedly in Japanese.
“We have successfully compromissed [sic] all of sony systems,” the group said.
“We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data. Due to Sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE.”
Experts from Cyber Security Connect say the group appear to have shown some proof but describe it as “not particularly compelling information”.
They’re apparently things like an internal log-in page and an internal PowerPoint presentation.
The criminals haven’t named their price either.
But they have left Sony with contact details.
