"Ubisoft Says It's Investigating Reports of a New Security Breach"

Ubisoft just started investigating whether it suffered a breach after images of the company's internal software and developer tools were leaked online.  Ubisoft is a French video game publisher known for well-known titles, including Assassin's Creed, FarCry, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, and the new Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.  Security researchers at VX-Underground say an unknown threat actor told them they breached Ubisoft on December 20th.  Once inside the company's systems, the unknown threat actor said they planned to exfiltrate around 900GB of data.  As part of this alleged breach, the threat actor claimed they gained access to the Ubisoft SharePoint server, Microsoft Teams, Confluence, and MongoDB Atlas panel, sharing screenshots of their access to some of these services.  Ubisoft was previously breached by the Egregor ransomware gang in 2020, who released portions of the Ubisoft Watch Dogs game's source code.  The company suffered a second breach in 2022 that disrupted its games, systems, and services.
