They also explained that EA has so far ignored their threats.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Few week ago we send email for ransome [sic] to EA but we dont get any response so we will posting the [source],&rdquo; one hacker wrote. &ldquo;If they dont contact us or dont pay us we will keep posting it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>For its part, EA said it&rsquo;s aware of the post, and is analysing the files released so far. &ldquo;At this time, we continue to believe that it does not contain data that poses any concern to player privacy, and we have no reason to believe that there is any material risk to our games, our business or our players,&rdquo; EA told Motherboard. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We continue to work with federal law enforcement officials as part of this ongoing criminal investigation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the funniest revelation in this story is that the hackers actually asked Motherboard to deliver their extortion message to EA on their behalf, something the outlet obviously did not do.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/16\/ea-hack-blackmail-stolen-data\/\">Hackers begin leaking EA&#8217;s stolen data after failing to blackmail the company<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>EA is not giving in to the demands of hackers who stole its data, and they\u2019re not happy about it.Last month, it came to light that a group of hackers infiltrated EA\u2018s servers and made away with source code for FIFA 21, and some Frostbite engine SDKs \u2013 over 780GB of data.Watch on YouTubeAs is [\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2021\/07\/16\/ea-hack-blackmail-stolen-data\/\">Hackers begin leaking EA\u2019s stolen data after failing to blackmail the company<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/\">VG247<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Hackers begin leaking EA\u2019s stolen data after failing to blackmail the company - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"EA is not giving in to the demands of hackers who stole its data, and they\u2019re not happy about it.Last month, it came to light that a group of hackers infiltrate"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[60,16,21],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271978"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271978"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271978\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":271979,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271978\/revisions\/271979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
