FIFA 21 Source Codes Got Stolen by Hackers!

According to the report of main sources such as Vice’s Motherboard, the source codes of FIFA 21 were stolen. Hackers infiltrated the servers of the video game giant EA. Apparently, hackers captured a lot of data from their databases.

Previously, we have witnessed that the data of important game companies such as Capcom and CD Project Red were stolen. The same thing happened in the CD Project Red data theft; the hackers put up all the data for sale along with the source codes they got from the theft. Hackers state that they stole about 780 GB of data. The hackers claimed that others will be able to access the data for sale through pirate forums. Also explaining to the hacker forums, the hackers said, “You have full capacity to take advantage of all EA services.

The statement made by EA worker Motherboard on this situation;

No player data was accessed, and we have no reason to believe there is any risk to player privacy. Following the incident, we’ve already made security improvements and do not expect an impact on our games or our business. We are actively working with law enforcement officials and other experts as part of this ongoing criminal investigation.

The hackers also posted a small screenshot, claiming to show their access to EA data. But they did not publicly distribute any of the internal data. The hackers shared a post with the note “Only serious and reputation members all other would be ignored.”

While the source codes of FIFA 21 have already been put up for sale on the forums, it was stated that hackers also accessed the game engines. Electronic Arts, creator of video games like Madden NFL, has added another data breach involving the Frostbite engine that powers games like Battlefield.
