Video gaming company Ubisoft revealed that it is looking into reports that hackers attempted to steal data this week by breaching into its networks.
The claims were made in a series of social media posts by vx-underground, which hosts the internet's largest collection of malware source code, samples, and publications.
The account has become well-known for its interactions with hackers and ransomware gangs, and it frequently shares threat actors' information.
Alleged screenshots of Microsoft Teams accounts and other points of access were published by the hackers via the vx-underground account.
The Egregor ransomware group first attacked the video game publisher in 2020.
The publisher is primarily renowned for titles including Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Prince of Persia.
The organisation disclosed a well-known game's source code.
In 2021, the company acknowledged that player data from its Just Dance video game franchise was compromised due to a vulnerability in its IT structure.
If confirmed, the incident would be the latest in a string of high-profile hacks on one of the biggest game studios.
Arion Kurtaj was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order by a UK court on Thursday for his role in many attacks on large businesses, the most notorious of which involved Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto.
