TL;DR Summary

Insomniac Games, the studio behind popular games like Spider-Man 2 and the Ratchet & Clank series, has been targeted by the Rhysida hacker group, who are demanding a ransom of 50 Bitcoin (over $2 million). The hackers claim to have accessed confidential data, including U.S. passport scans, personal information from tax forms, and game screenshots for Insomniac's upcoming Wolverine game. The hackers have given Insomniac a week to respond to their demands, but have already started auctioning the stolen data. Sony, the owner of Insomniac Games, is actively investigating the breach.
