Epic Games Dismisses Purported Hack by Mogilevich Group, Calls Extortion Claims a Likely Scam
-
Epic Games said they found no evidence of a cyberattack or data breach after extortion group Mogilevich claimed to have hacked them
-
Mogilevich did not contact Epic Games or provide any proof to support their claims
-
Mogilevich claims to be selling the allegedly stolen Epic Games data for $15,000 but will only share samples with buyers who show "proof of funds"
-
Security researchers believe Mogilevich may be attempting to scam buyers with fake data since they don't share samples upfront

Mogilevich claims to operate a Ransomware-as-a-Service model but no ransomware samples have been found linking them to actual attacks
