Secret Neighbor taken offline after hacker deletes player data and blackmails publisher
Secret Neighbor is now offline while TinyBuild fends off a hacker
Secret Neighbor is a multiplayer action-adventure game that launched in 2019 across PC, console, and mobile platforms. The indie title combines RPG elements with asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay centered around deception and cooperation.
The game has recently gone offline following a security incident. A hacker deleted player data and attempted to extort the publisher TinyBuild, forcing the studio to take the game offline while addressing the breach. This represents a significant disruption for the active player base and raises questions about the recovery timeline and what safeguards will be implemented before the game returns to service.
