EA Games, publisher of Battlefield<\/i><\/a>, The Sims<\/i> and FIFA<\/i>, has admitted to a “recent incident of intrusion into our network” in which attackers reportedly stole game source code and software development kits.<\/p>\n

The company acknowledged the breach while downplaying its impact, saying no personal data of players had been taken and claiming the amount of game source data and tools taken was “limited”.<\/p>\n

The breach was first reported by Vice’s Motherboard<\/i> offshoot, which said it had been shown screenshots of posts on cybercriminal forums by the apparent thieves, boasting about what they had helped themselves to.<\/p>\n
