How did the The Last of Us: Part II mass leak occur? – review addiction

According to him, the attackers through a gap in the patch for the unnamed old game Naughty Dog were able to access the studio’s servers, where they downloaded the leaked frames into the network. At the same time, what is shown is the gameplay of the early build of the game, which was held by one of the developers.

More importantly, the rumors that the leak is an act of protest of one of the freelancers because of underpayment are not true.

By according to A QA tester with the nickname PixelButts, every Naughty Dog game has a so-called “final patch”, which includes Amazon AWS keys. It, together with a secret identifier, allows you to access the studio’s servers.

According to the user, the hacker community learned about the vulnerability in January, and already in February they knew about it at Naughty Dog – the company tried to close the gap as soon as possible. Apparently, hackers uploaded videos just in January-February.

At the same time, the frames of the multiplayer mode, for example, are dated as early as March 2018, so it’s still not clear how old the other videos are. Multiplayer, recall, decided to release separately from the second part of the game.

The Last of Us: Part II comes out June 19th. Sony, by the way, has already found intruders, confirming that they are not affiliated with the corporation or Naughty Dog.
