Developer Ready or Not Void Interactive had its game source code stolen by hackers

Published on

An indie game developer that released a tactical first-person shooter for PC on Steam that centers on SWAT teams has found itself the victim of a criminal data breach. Void Interactive has confirmed that hackers managed to steal at least part of its game’s source code, ready or not.

The data breach also reportedly included the theft of components for future Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game.

The data breach was first reported by face gameswhich claims that the thefts of the source code and consoles actually took place as early as March, but was only revealed on Wednesday.

The report says the theft was carried out by a ransomware group, which Insider Gaming has not identified. The story says the hack resulted in 4TB of stolen data.

Void Interactive has since sent an official statement to Kotaku, confirming the data breach. The developer blamed the theft on what it called “critical vulnerabilities” allegedly found in TeamCity’s cloud services.

The statement added that the breach did result in the theft of “certain source code as well as library information” for ready or not, along with “top-level project screenshots and company-related information.” Void Interactive stated that its “development assets and proprietary code remain secure and intact” and that no user data was taken.

ready or not First launched in early access in 2021, it reached its 1.0 status just a few months ago in December 2023.

Before this week’s disclosure of the data breach, Void Interactive had plans to release two Post-1.0 DLC packs for the game. One is scheduled for release in Spring 2024 with the title Home Invasion, and the other was due for release in Summer 2024 but still had no title.

It is currently unknown if this data breach will delay Void Interactive’s roadmap plans.
