Epic Games Hack Claim Revealed as Scam by Ransomware Group

The ransomware group Mogilevich admitted their claim of hacking Epic Games and stealing data was a hoax aimed at scamming other criminals.

The group Mogilevich falsely claimed to have stolen 200GB of data from Epic Games, including sensitive information.
Epic Games responded quickly, stating there was zero evidence to support the group's claims of a hack.
Mogilevich later admitted the hack was a bluff, intended to scam other criminals by selling fake ransomware software.
The scam allowed Mogilevich to trick eight would-be hackers, with one victim losing $85,000.
Epic Games has launched an internal investigation but has found no evidence of a legitimate hack.
