About This Breach
The intruders compromised the studio's internal servers and exfiltrated over 1.67 TB of sensitive corporate and developmental data comprising 1.3 million individual files. Following an unmet ransom demand, the threat group leaked the archive onto the dark web, exposing passport scans of employees and voice actors, confidential licensing agreements between Sony and Marvel, internal workplace communications, and early playable test builds of Marvel's Wolverine.
