Activision Data Leak Contains Call of Duty Future Projects
Insider Gaming reported that they were able to verify the latest leaked information regarding Activision’s data from a Twitter user named @vxunderground.
Although the user only uploaded a few images related to the Call of Duty DLC release schedule: Modern Warfare 2, Insider Gaming managed to get the entire leaked data.
The data obtained contained DLC plans for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty 2023 (Project Jupiter), Call of Duty 2024 (Project Cerberus), and sensitive employee information.
Employee information obtained includes full name, email, phone number, salary, workplace, address, and more.
According to @vxunderground, Activision was breached on December 4, 2022 and the files were given to him recently by an individual who was unable to sell the contents of the breach.
It is said that hackers were able to break into the computers of employees from Human Resources (HR) to gain access to the information.
Since Insider Gaming’s reporting, Activision has released the following statement:
The security of our data is paramount and we have comprehensive information security protocols in place to ensure its confidentiality.
On December 4, 2022, our information security team quickly addressed the SMS phishing attempt and quickly resolved it. After conducting a thorough investigation, we determined that no sensitive employee data, game codes, or player data was accessed.
