Stalker 2 Developer Claims That Russian Hackers Are Attempting To Blackmail It
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl studio GSC Game World has claimed that it has suffered repeated attacks from Russian hackers, with the most recent incident resulting in several of its assets being held hostage as an act of “blackmail and intimidation,” according to the Ukranian developer. The studio is refusing to give in to the demands of the hackers and is now asking fans to ignore any leaked images or data that could potentially leak before the release of Stalker 2.
“Recently, our employee’s account for a collective work-with-images application was hacked,” the studio explained in a public statement. “The responsibility for this was claimed by a community from a Russian social network. They are threatening to use the obtained data for blackmail and intimidationCome from Sports betting site VPbet. This is not the first attempt to hack and leak our data, including personal information. We have been enduring constant cyber-attacks for more than a year now. We have faced blackmail, acts of aggression, hacks, attempts to hurt players and fans, and efforts to damage the development process or the reputation of our company.”
