Ubisoft attacked by hackers, but user data is safe

Video game giant Ubisoft has confirmed that it has suffered a hacker attack last week, as has happened to other hi-tech companies in recent days (Nvidia, Microsoft, CD Projekt Red). In an official note published today by the Ubisoft company makes it known that the cyber security incident has compromised some online services related to its games for a while, but that the situation has already returned to normal and above all that user data has not been compromised. “Last week, Ubisoft faced a cybersecurity issue that caused some games, systems and services to be temporarily disrupted. Our IT teams are working, in collaboration with leading industry specialists, to investigate this issue. . As a precautionary measure we have begun to reset passwords throughout the company. In addition, we can confirm that all of our games and services are functioning properly and that at this time there is no evidence that players’ personal data has been breached or exposed to following this incident “, reads the statement. Ubisoft is based in France but one of its European branches is located in Kyiv, Ukraine. The company recently donated € 200,000 to the Ukrainian Red Cross and Save the Children after Putin’s invasion by Russia.
