Ubisoft is reeling from a security crisis that goes far beyond simple gameplay exploits. While the community focuses on recent server chaos, a deeper story of internal compromise has emerged.

    Be aware of this comment by user Aggressive_Rope_420:

    "I am automatically suspicious of articles by lesser-known publications that have an explosive title but very little sourcing.

    This entire thing is based on a tweet by “vx-underground”.

    I am not saying he is lying, but IMO this is a “grain of sault” situation until more sources confirm (or disprove).

    Edit: The article is also full of deceptive links that look like sourcing but if you check - aren’t. For example:

    Ubisoft has expressed gratitude for the patience shown by the player base while they deal with these unprecedented challenges (…)

    “Ubisoft” is a hyperlink which one would assume leads to some form of statement by the company about the incident. But it doesn’t. It leads to an unrelated article: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/nintendo-switch-2-vrr-breakthrough-ubisoft-targets-stutter-gamers-hate-1765538

    The entire thing looks sketchy."

      I didn’t read the article so no comment on that aspect of it, but just wanted to chime in to mention that vx-underground is legit.
