Fortnite players are at risk of having their payment details leaked in a massive hack

A RANSOMWARE group claims to have stolen nearly 200 GB of data from Fortnite maker Epic Games.

In a post on a darknet leak site, the group made claims about what they were able to steal from the company.

According to a report from Cyber ​​​​dailythe group known as The Mogelivich Gang is relatively new to the ransomware scene.

The group claims to have stolen “email, passwords, full name, payment information, source code and many other data.”

Overnight, the group claims to have launched an attack on Epic Games’ servers.

Unlike other ransomware attacks that have occurred in the industry, Mogelivich has provided no evidence that the hack occurred.

Epic Games has responded to the report, saying: “We are investigating, but there is currently no evidence that these claims are legitimate.

“Mogilievich has not contacted Epic or provided any evidence of the veracity of these allegations.

“When we saw these allegations, which were a screenshot of a dark web web page in a third party tweet, we began investigating within minutes and contacted Mogilevich for evidence.

“Mogilevich has not responded. The closest we’ve seen to a response so far is this Tweet, in which they are reportedly asking for $15,000 and ‘proof of funds’ to hand over the alleged data.”

Mogelivich offers to sell the data, but does not specify a price and says they are willing to sell to anyone who will pay for it.

The message reads: “If you are an employee of the company or someone who wants to purchase the data, please click me.”

This link goes to the group’s contact page, which is linked to a secure email.

Mogelivich claims buyers only have until Monday, March 4, 2024 to submit their offer before it is withdrawn.

If their claims are true, Fortnite players and those who use the Epic Games Store are at risk.

The group claims to have personal and financial information, including that of users.

There is no need to worry yet as it has not yet been proven that the hack occurred at all.
