"Ubisoft Reveals 'Security Incident' Forcing Company-Wide Password Refresh"

The gaming giant Ubisoft, headquartered in Montreuil, France, said on March 10 that an incident took place earlier this month, causing temporary disruption to some of their games, systems, and services.  Ubisoft's IT team is currently working with cybersecurity experts to investigate the situation and has decided to initiate a company-wide password reset.  The company says that games and services are currently working properly, and there is no evidence, at present, of "any player personal information being accessed or exposed as a byproduct of this incident."  The LAPSUS$ ransomware gang may be responsible and has reportedly taken credit.  Another cyberattack affected Ubisoft in December 2021, where threat actors launched a cyberattack against the infrastructure supporting the game Just Dance.  The incident in Decmeber was caused by a "misconfiguration" that has since been resolved.
