no outlast 3 as if it wasnt evident already with the mistake and sunken cost fallacy that this game is. the breachers were probably salty about red barrels trying to cash in on live service crap instead of continuing a great trilogy.
Basically nothing will changes 4-5 months biggers updates not sure if we need wait even longer now or it just few weeks setback they restored a data? Last post they quyickly mentioned future, new trials, new maps and characters not sure if that project was delyed?
Events are most likely postponed for the foreseeable future and the future of the studio is not looking real good right now.
Edit: The group stole 1.8TB of data and have made plans to release to the public...
It's a VERY bad situation. The source code for two notable horror games, HR information and more was stolen and is apparently going to be made public. Sensitive company assets and information related to the workers that has no business sitting out in the open. Even their own statement has said that they are going to need to provide support to their workers, I think that says it all. Their workers are the ones being effected the worst by this attack.
I've actually seen some of their private docs pop up on Twitter by burner accounts, but they are getting sniped down really fast. They've likely got authority figures and/or cyber security experts monitoring any online forums discussing them so they can take out anything that pops up. Get ready, because I think that's gonna start happening more.
A serious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crime has been committed here and I'm shocked that this isn't being covered more extensively.
Arguably even more ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up are the people trying to justify the attack. As if RB is some massive corporation, not that it would be any more justified.
As with any data breach they'll be in damage control right now, trying to assess the scope and enacting their incident response plan (or leveraging external resources to aid investigation).
This isn't likely to take away from development resources, but they may be hesitant to publish anything until they're confident the incident is contained.
I've had a quick look at NitroBlog and can confirm the proof data is there to see; bunch of documents, outlast concept art renders etc.
As with most Ransomware groups, they'll be financially motivated and seeking payment from Red Barrels before publishing in full.
We can only hope for the situation to be contained.......
Getting a team of cybersecurity experts on their team and contacting the authorities are definitely a good thing to do and will help in mitigating an already horrible situation. But as for containing this looming risk of private data being leaked, it's a loose cannon.
It's unlikely, but I prey they find the people that did this. If they can do that, then RB could get a MASSIVE payout for damages from the attackers. Doesn't remedy information getting sent out into the ether, but it would be something. It's the best case scenario if you ask me.
I know I sound like a broken record, but I am very disappointing at the lack of coverage surrounding this by the wider games industry. Even Angry Joe didn't talk about it in his latest news videos.
Any (Ransomware) Threat group lives and dies by their reputation, if they all published the data after payment regardless then nobody would pay.
Often times these are just affiliates leveraging a RaaS (Ransomware as a service) e,g, Ransomhub - they handle the infrastructure side of things and take their cut.
Whilst I can't speak definitively for their publication intentions post payment, It would go against them should they make that call. This is why certain industries are targeted more than others e,g. Healthcare as they are more likely to pay the ransom to resume operation and prevent patient data leakage.
