Epic Games hackers accept that everything was a hoax to get money | TierraGamer: news and entertainment about anime, series, video games and technology

A few days ago, news circulated that hackers supposedly obtained sensitive information from several users of Epic Games. However, the 'evidence' was too poor to consider it a real threat. Now it is confirmed that everything was a scam attempt.

The hacking group, which calls itself Mogilevich, asked Epic Games for a huge amount of money in exchange for not disclosing the stolen data. After the company verified that this was not true, the demands of these criminals fell on deaf ears. Now they themselves confess that they are not hackers and that they never had information about this developer.

An alleged link to the hacked data actually leads to a confession. Here Mogilevich assures that they are not hackers, but fraudsters and they also go into detail about their mode of operation. In reality they only convince companies that something was stolen from them in order to receive payment in return.

The same message assures that they confess only to demonstrate how their scam works, since they consider themselves more 'criminal geniuses' than hackers. They also claim that they managed to deceive other companies with the same process. Perhaps with this Epic Games event, other companies will become more alert when someone claims to have leaked their data.

What was they supposedly stolen from Epic Games?

Mogilevich posted a message on their site last week claiming to have information about Epic Games. According to them, they had 189 GB of emails, names, user payment information and source codes. But it was all a lie.

Notably From the first days the company realized that everything was false. A simple analysis of their servers indicated that there was no attack, plus the 'group' never shared any kind of evidence. This made them refuse to pay and ended with this curious confession. What do you think about this situation?
