A relatively new group of hackers known as Ransomed.vc, which seem to have started during September, 2023, has released a message claiming to have gained access to all of Sony's systems.

According to the released message by the hacking group, they breached Sony's security and have gained access to their data, with a couple of links to what seems to be the file tree of the breached files as evidence, which amounts to around 6000 files listed in the tree, as well as a sample of the data obtained by the group. No further information was detailed on what else they might have hacked or if the data itself is for website data only or if other areas have been affected.

The message itself has a future date of September 28th, 2023, which could very well be the deadline before Ransomed.vc releases or sells the data to he highest bidder, though there is no clear amount to pay for Sony if they want to cover the ransom. This would most likely be handled privately through Ransomed's Tox, Telegram or email.

Sony hasn't made any public mentions regarding a possible hack or breaches of security, but it remains to be seen if this is actually the case or not, as this is not the first time that Sony themselves have been hacked before. Some may remember the Sony hack from 2011, in which the hack costed Sony around $100 million, and they had to face something near to 55 action class lawsuits as user and player personal data was breached in this case.

Censor-happy $oyny was hacked?

 

[Vetusomaru]

Shame this was targeted at Sony and not an actual evil corporation like Blackroc

Sony is evil too though and pushing Blackrock agenda

 

[Hassal]

What a bunch of knuckleheads. If they are so smart as they claim they wouldn't be asking for money for a service Sony didn't ask for. These are low life thieves that believe they entitled for service they themselves chose to partake and should be rewarded.

christ i hope players don't get their data breached

christ i hope players don't get their data breached

No need to worry: Playstation 5 has no games.

 

[MikaDubbz]

the sample doesnt show anything of worth, this is nothing

I mean doesn't that make sense? Show a piece of data they've obtained that is of no interest to much of anyone, but proof all the same to the people at Sony that they got into their files and to indicate that any real data of substance could be leaked just as easily as their sample of little substance (beyond again being proof that they got into their system).

I guess you could put it that way if somehow the irony in their statement goes over your head.

 

[YuseiFD]

Im curious what does the file tree contain

 

[Xzi]

Bloodborne PC please, hacker-san.

Any organization can be hacked if organized criminals target individuals within the organization using means of social engineering to spread their trojans in hopes of infecting staff members machines. These type of hacks can only be attributed to human stupidity than anything else. Like I said these are low life thieves.

Dear Mr. Hackerman,

Please release Spider-Man 4 footage

Sincerely,

We wont ransom them! we will sell the data.

The water is wet.

 

[linuxares]

[Bladexdsl]

It’s a service they need

 

[Halbour]

Good I thing I'm a PC/Nintendo player.

oof, i think about what if I had stuff in sony's databases...

 

[trepp0]

The water is wet.

gives off Linus tech tips vibes “we didn’t sell it, we auctioned it!”

 

[Bladexdsl]

really though they probably found absolutely nothing in them files except the plans for that useless streaming controller

 

[TheZander]

At least they're not ransoming it and just going to sell it. This is how most indie game devs get attention though. They typically buy these up and spam the email list with their game.
