Clash of Clans maker Supercell was last week the target of multiple cyber attacks, including one that has exposed the names, images, voices, and email addresses of internal employees and some guests and partners.
Detailing the situation in a blog post, the company said an unauthorised party gained access to a video platform it uses to host footage of internal meetings and presentations and made copies of that content.
Supercell said no player data was stolen. The company has already reported the matter to the police and submitted a notification under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and informed the Data Protection Ombudsman.
"After we learned about the incident, we blocked further access, took the service offline, and began investigating together with the platform and their security expert," wrote the studio.
"[...] The videos include current and former Supercell employees, as well as some guests and partners who took part in internal events. Information in the videos may include people’s names, images, and voices. Names and email addresses of the platform’s users were also accessed."
Supercell has warned the stolen material could be used to facilitate highly targeted phishing attempts.
"Please be cautious with unexpected messages, calls, or video calls that claim to come from Supercell or someone at Supercell, especially if they ask for money, passwords, access, or files. If something feels off, verify it through a channel you already know and trust," it added.
"If you have attended an event as a speaker or presenter at Supercell, or hosted by Supercell, that has been recorded, it is very likely that you're impacted by the breach."
The company is instructing its professional partners to reach out via email (incidents-info@supercell.com) for more information.
