EA has been breached, with 750 GB of data stolen. The data does not appear to include user credentials, but the source code of games and some debug tools. The data is already for sale online.

Gaming giant Electronic Arts (EA) has been hacked and threat actors claim to have stolen roughly 750 GB of data, including game source code and debug tools.

EA confirmed the data breach in a statement sent to BleepingComputer saying that this "was not a ransomware attack, that a limited amount of code and related tools were stolen, and we do not expect any impact to our games or our business."

BleepingComputer spoke to the threat actor selling EA's data who claims to have stolen the full FIFA source, EA game clients, and points used as in-game currency.

In-game points have been known to be used by cybercriminals for money laundering purposes.

When asked how they gained access to EA's network they would not provide further details.
