Cloud Imperium Games was subjected to a hacker attack.
In 2026, the creators of Star Citizen experienced a data breach. The developers were subjected to a "systematic and sophisticated" hacker attack.
The incident occurred in late January, but Cloud Imperium Games acknowledged the problem only now. According to the developers, this attack resulted in "limited access to users' personal data."
The authors of Star Citizen are now "continuing to monitor the situation." They do not believe that this incident poses a threat to user security:
The affected data concerns only basic account information (i.e., metadata, contact information, username, date of birth, and name). Financial or payment information was not stored in the affected systems and was not accessible. Passwords were not affected, and access was exclusively "read-only." No data breaches or modifications occurred.
Conclusions were drawn from the situation, and Cloud Imperium Games is taking measures to prevent such incidents from happening again.
