A Lump of Coal: Users Report Getting DMCA Notices After Downloading Leaked Wolverine Build

Posted on December 25, 2023 by Dissent

Bobby Anhalt reports:

Users who downloaded the Marvel’s Wolverine leaked play build reportedly received DMCAs from their internet service providers. Insomniac Games is the most recent high-profile casualty of malicious ransomware attacks in the gaming industry. Unfortunately, the cyberattack resulted in well over a terabyte of information being leaked to the public. In addition to an early playable build of Marvel’s Wolverine, plans for Insomniac’s next five games leaked along with employee data, passport info, confidential papers, internal emails, and some of Spider-Man voice actor Yuri Lowenthal’s personal documents.

[…]

Internet service providers are reportedly issuing DMCA notices to those who downloaded the playable dev version of Marvel’s Wolverine. Some players who claim to have been hit with DMCAs are taking to social media and sharing screenshots of the notice. According to the screenshot being shared online, the copyright owner has identified the user’s IP address, meaning Insomniac has some way of tracking these leaked files online.
