In recent days, significant developments have occurred in the hacking incident involving the Epic Games platform. The latest information suggests that the company may not have been hacked at all. Approximately one week ago, a hacker group called Mogilevich claimed to have breached Epic’s servers and accessed a user database of 189 GB.
However, in their recent statement, the same group claimed that such an event never occurred, alleging that they fabricated this lie to deceive real hackers. However, many people are still not convinced of the accuracy of these claims. Here are all the details…
A shocking development in the Epic Games hacking incident!
Mogilevich, who began to make unexpected claims about the case, claimed that they promised to sell Epic Games’ data to some hacker groups. They stated that they thought this would dissuade them from attempting to hack the company and fabricated the hacking lie for this purpose.
While it has been revealed that Mogilevich sold some data to 8 different groups, it has not been proven that this data came from Epic Games. Epic’s official statement asserting that they did not experience any hacking incident aligns with these developments.
Last week, Mogilevich, who blackmailed Epic by claiming to have critical data such as users’ emails, passwords, and payment information, suddenly made completely contradictory statements, confusing everyone. Some claim that the group fabricated such a lie to avoid receiving a hefty prison sentence. The truth, however, seems to be forthcoming in the coming days.
