Ubisoft experienced a \u201ccyber security incident\u201d last week that temporarily disrupted some games, systems, and services, the company reported Thursday<\/a>. Ubisoft hasn\u2019t said who might be responsible, but on Friday evening, the group who purportedly hacked Nvidia took credit.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft said it believes that \u201cat this time there is no evidence any player personal information was accessed or exposed as a by-product of this incident\u201d and says that games and services are now \u201cfunctioning normally.\u201d Out of caution, the company also \u201cinitiated a company-wide password reset.\u201d When asked for comment, Ubisoft spokesperson Jessica Roache said the company had no additional details to share.<\/p>\n

News of the incident arrives amid a recent wave of high-profile hacks. Nvidia confirmed on March 1st that it was hacked and said that<\/a> the hackers are leaking employee credentials and proprietary information. Samsung said on March 7th that hackers stole<\/a> internal company data and source code for Galaxy devices. The LAPSUS$ hacking group has taken responsibility for those two breaches. <\/p>\n

But that may not be all. On Friday, in a Telegram channel allegedly run by LAPSUS$, the group posted a link to this article and the smirking face emoji<\/a>, seemingly taking responsibility for the Ubisoft incident, too. In response to a user in the channel, the group \u201cconfirmed\u201d that it did not target Ubisoft\u2019s customer information. Ubisoft didn\u2019t immediately reply to a request for comment on the claims.<\/p>\n
