EA Statements on Recent Security Incident

July 14, 2021

In June, we reported a recent incident of intrusion into our network (see earlier statement below). This week, we’ve been made aware of an extortion threat from the alleged hackers, and a portion of some files were released to the public. We have analyzed the files released by the alleged hackers, and at this time, we continue to believe that it does not contain data that poses any concern to player privacy, and we have no reason to believe that there is any material risk to our games, our business or our players. We continue to work with federal law enforcement officials as part of this ongoing criminal investigation.

We are investigating a recent incident of intrusion into our network where a limited amount of game source code and related tools were stolen. No player data was accessed, and we have no reason to believe there is any risk to player privacy. Following the incident, we’ve already made security improvements and do not expect an impact on our games or our business. We are actively working with law enforcement officials and other experts as part of this ongoing criminal investigation.
