Quote:A ransomware gang that just emerged this month dubbed Egregor claims to have hacked the source code to the upcoming gaming release, Watch Dogs: Legion.
 
And in separate gaming news, a popular fantasy title called Albion — a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) — has been hacked. Cybercriminals are offering what they claim are game databases in underground forums.
 
The group also said that it has files Crytek relating to gaming titles like Arena of Fate and Warface.
 
According to a look at Egregor’s leak site portal by ZDNet, partial leaks for the hacks appear to have been posted. The operators emailed the outlet as well, noting that they only hacked Ubisoft and didn’t deploy its ransomware. Crytek, meanwhile, “has been encrypted fully.” In both cases, the companies haven’t responded to the incidents, according to the email.
 
“In case Ubisoft will not contact us we will begin posting the source code of upcoming Watch Dogs and their engine,” the hackers told ZDNet.
 
The data posted is somewhat inconclusive – the code in the portal could be from an older Watch Dogs version, for instance. In all, the data totals 20 MB from Ubisoft, and 300 MB from Crytek.
