The Full Story
Same story, different day, as Swedish video game publisher THQ Nordic finds its internal development systems and multimedia assets plastered all over Direwolf's extortion portal. Threat intelligence feeds dutifully logged the compromise on August 30, because of course nobody noticed before then. One might foolishly think securing internal environments and locking down sensitive development assets would be standard practice to keep extortionists out, but why bother when we can just feature on a leak site instead?
