    I was wondering how the hell that could even happen twice but APPARENTLY Ubisoft has had issues with insiders leaking stuff to hackers to steal and sell accounts, so… I’m thinking they might have to fire EVERYONE in the support team and revoke all of their keys. It’s clear the hackers have people in the support team giving them access.

      Unlikely.

      Something that’s more likely is because of recent layoffs, the laid off employees sell their security keys/cookies etc online and the company apparently fails to revoke those. That’s how Rockstar got hacked a while ago and had GTA6 clips leaked.

        Huh. Never thought I’d see a path of consequences that punishes companies disloyal to their employees.

        Granted, these people are dooming their chances of working in the game industry again, but maybe at this point they’re okay with that burn.

          Difficult to proof that tho. Those things are usually sold on anonymous platforms like the darkweb. Unless you got another case of a darkweb marketplace or forums being run by the feds, it’s nearly impossible to proof that it was you - you could probably always say “my keys were stolen by someone in IT or maybe someone hacked it, idk” and well, innocent until proven guilty helps you here.
