Electronic Arts says hackers managed to steal source code and other software tools from the video game giant, but that the attack was unlikely to have an impact on gamers or business operations.

EA confirmed the hack when we reached out, and noted that this was not a ransomware attack, and that no player data or personal info was included in the breached files.

"We are investigating a recent incident of intrusion into our network, where a limited amount of game source code and related tools were stolen," an EA spokesperson told CNET. "No player data was accessed, and we have no reason to believe there is any risk to player privacy. Following the incident, we've already made security improvements and do not expect an impact on our games or our business. We are actively working with law enforcement officials and other experts as part of this ongoing criminal investigation."

The videogame industry has seen multiple hacks in recent months. Earlier this year, CD Projekt SA, maker of "Cyberpunk 2077," said the company's internal systems were breached in a cyberattack. In November of last year, "Resident Evil" maker Capcom Co. said its networks had issues that affected its email and file servers as a result of a third party's unauthorized access.

According to Vice Media, hackers boasted about the attack on underground internet forums, with one post saying: "You have full capability of exploiting on all EA services."

The hackers were advertising the stolen software for sale in various dark web forums, according to the report.

The hack comes just before this year's E3 gaming conference, which is scheduled to kick off June 12.
