Next gen hacker SuperDaeE, who breached Sony, Microsoft, Epic, Valve, Blizzard and other gaming companies, just released a 1.7TB treasure trove FTP download. The files, however, are apparently encrypted. Previously, SuperDaE vowed he would release said files, which are believed to contain sensitive information about unreleased games, should he be arrested.
SuperDaE, whose real name is āDylanā and who is an Australian citizen, announced earlier his plans on sister site Gizmodo. SuperDaE leaked loads of accurate new info to Kotaku about the then unnamed Xbox One and PS4 earlier this year. Earlier today when the FTP went life, SuperDaE tweeted, āInsurance up.ā
The FTP also apparently contains software development kits for the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U as well as possible old code for unreleased games such as Company of Heroes 2 and WWE 14. The Epic directory includes folders for Unreal Engine 4 and UE4 projects called Fortnite (an announced game), Kilo, Lima and Orion
When asked via Twitter what the FTP contained, SuperDaE replied, āEnough files to change the video game industry for better.ā
The encrypted file is currently live on SuperDaEās site (noted by LevelSaveand NeoGAF). SuperDaEās website also has an Australian bank transfer number and a BitCoin link. Currently, itās unclear how the downloader gets the seemingly necessary key to open the file.
Recently, Kotaku reported that SuperDaE, a 17 year-old minor, was facing an array of eight legal charges, including āpossession of cannabis and drug paraphernaliaā, āpossession of a prohibited weaponā, āpossession of identification material with intent to commit an offenceā, and āpossessing and copying an indecent or obscene article, possession of child exploitation materialā.
Last Kotaku heard SuperDaE was out on bail.
Update: When Kotaku asked SuperDaE what would trigger the āinsuranceā fileās release, the Australian hacker replied, āMy inability to access a computer.ā
