It’s not the first time that cyberattacks have targeted Ubisoft. In 2020, the company filed a lawsuit against the owners of website SNG.One, which allowed users to attack servers of various games including the popular first-person tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. The company won said lawsuit last year at the US Central District Court of California, where the judge awarded Ubisoft around $153K in compensation. Another prominent game developer, CD Projekt RED, was also targeted by cyberattacks in early 2021. The developers were even locked out of their computers for a while. More recently, graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA suffered a major cyberattack that compromised several parts of its business. The source code for NVIDIA’s acclaimed Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) image reconstruction technique was also leaked as a result.
