There was no hacker attack to the detriment of Epic Gamesapparently: the people who announced that they had hacked the company's servers were actually looking for advertising to make a name for themselves in the industry and scam someone.
In fact, the story of the hacker attack suffered by Epic Games immediately appeared strange, given the initial investigations conducted no problems had been detectedand indeed the company was absolutely certain that it had not suffered any violations.
Well, in the last few hours the group that claimed to be the author of the hacking admitted that it was a lie, invented for the sole purpose of make a profit defrauding any interested parties in Epic Games data.
In this case, Mogilievich members aimed at fool hackers making them believe that they possess the tools necessary to hack the servers of the largest companies, and that they are willing to sell them.
A credible lie?
The scam organized in this case by Mogilievich was leveraged credible assumptionsgiven the sensational cases of violations with ransom demands that have recently occurred against, for example, Insomniac Games.
However, let's imagine that in the environment it is clear who is capable of carrying out certain heists and who is not, which probably significantly reduced the group's chances of actually extracting money from someone.
