Gaming equipment company Razer reacted to the latest rumors
of a massive data breach with a brief statement on Twitter, informing users
that it has started an investigation into the matter. Information about a
potential data breach at the company surfaced on Saturday, when someone posted
on a hacker forum that they had stolen source code, databases, encryption keys,
and backend access logins for Razer.com, the company's main website.
Razer is a popular American-Singapore technology company
that focuses on gaming hardware, selling high-quality peripherals, powerful
laptops, and apparel. The company also sells a service that gives registered
account holders access to an extensive collection of games, special in-game
item offers, exclusive rewards, and more through the Razer Gold payment system.
The user offered to sell the data for $100,000 worth of Monero (XMR)
cryptocurrency and urged interested people to contact him directly to finalize
the deal.
Cybersecurity analysts at FalconFeedsio spotted the
announcement on a hacker forum and shared it publicly. Replying to the tweet,
Razer said that it is investigating the potential incident by initiating an
investigation. We were notified of a potential hack on July 9, 2023 that
impacted Razer Gold.
Upon learning about the breach, the team immediately
conducted a thorough review of all Razer websites and have taken all necessary
steps to secure our platform. Razer remains in the midst of an investigation,
and we remain committed to ensuring the digital safety and security of all our
customers.
