Expert comment on Rockstar Games breach
September 2022 by Experts
Following the news that a threat actor has breached Rockstar Games, leaking game data linked to the un-released GTA 6, cyber security experts share the following comments:
Timothy West, Head of Threat Intelligence, WithSecure:
“If claims are true about intrusion MO, it is another reminder that often the vulnerability that gets exploited is the human. While it is easy with hindsight to suggest that a product or service may mitigate against such attacks, technology alone, or specific configurations therein cannot be considered a silver bullet solution.”
David Sygula, Senior cybersecurity analyst at CybelAngel:
“A threat actor was likely able to compromise an employee’s Slack account due to a lack of MFA. As for ‘Teapot’, it is claimed on the dark web that the actor could be related to Laspsus$, if not the head of Lapsus$. It’s impossible to verify the claim but there’s a high probability as it’s the same modus operandi. Either way, this further shows how important it is to raise awareness around social engineering and the need to monitor for employee credentials that are for sale on the dark web.”
