Following a report last week of a ransomware attack on Epic Games that allegedly made off with nearly 200GB of data, Epic now says the whole thing was in fact "a scam"—and so does the group that claimed credit for it in the first place.
The attack, reported on February 28 by Cyber Daily, was supposedly carried out by a hacking group calling itself Mogilevich, presumably adopting the name of notorious Russian crime boss Semion Mogilevich. The group said it had obtained 189GB of data in the attack, including "email, passwords, full name, payment information, source code and many other data," and was offering it for sale, with a pay-up deadline of March 4.
