Epic Games has responded to claims made by the Mogilevich extortion group, stating that they have found no evidence of a cyberattack or data theft on their servers.
In a statement to BleepingComputer, Epic Games said, “We are currently investigating, but there is no evidence to support the legitimacy of these claims.” The company also mentioned that Mogilevich had not contacted them or provided any proof to substantiate the allegations.
Upon discovering a screenshot of a dark web page promoting the alleged breach, Epic Games immediately initiated an investigation and attempted to reach out to the threat actors. However, they did not receive a response from Mogilevich, and their only source of information was a tweet posted yesterday.
Yesterday, in response to the news circulating on Twitter regarding the alleged breach, I spoke to a representative of the Mogilevich extortion group, requesting evidence of the attack.
According to BleepingComputer, the threat actors stated that they were selling the stolen data for $15,000 and would only share samples with individuals who could provide “proof of funds,” demonstrating their possession of sufficient cryptocurrency assets to make the purchase.
The group claimed to have shared samples of the purportedly stolen data with three individuals who met the requirements of demonstrating proof of funds.
