Ransomed.vc is a ransomware group that has been operating since September 2023, but according to Cyber Security Connect, ``it has connections to forums and groups on the dark web in the past.'' Ransomed.vc has access to 6,000 files in Sony's possession as evidence of the hack, including a screenshot of Sony's internal login page, an internal PowerPoint presentation document outlining test benchmark details, and multiple Java files.

Ransomed.vc says, ``We have successfully compromised all of Sony's systems.'' ``We will not demand a ransom from Sony! We will sell the data obtained through hacking.'' 'We sell data.

In 2011, the PlayStation Network suffered a major breach, with approximately 77 million registered accounts compromised and online functionality completely cut off. Since the number of files that Ransomed.vc can access is less than 6,000, ``It does not seem like it will cause as much damage as the PlayStation Network hack that took place in 2011,'' Kotaku reports.
