Epic Games hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info

I've seen this screenshot doing the rounds but the Irish Dept. of Foreign Affairs has confirmed they've seen no evidence of a breach. Not sure how common it is but perhaps just a bluff to get some Bitcoin?

Wow.<p>It almost seems mandatory to use different purchasing emails to limit fall out, and a credit card layer in between like Apple&#x2F;Google pay or plastiq.

Login and payment info tells me this hack is not likely. Maybe a few accounts were sprayed.

The hack was fake<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=39586495">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=39586495</a>

Uh oh, do they have my payment info from when I bought Castle of the Winds?

This website keeps making the claim that it&#x27;s a ransomware attack, but neither the original tweet nor Epic&#x27;s response seem to back that up. Looks like a run of the mill data exfiltration to me.<p>Also this website has the most insane cookie consent flow I&#x27;ve seen yet. Shameful.
