Not that strange.
For IGN, a gaming media company?

These Russian fucking ransomware hackers are out of control. Companies, hospitals, city infra, anything and everything
The article talks about it a little and links this:

The games industry in general has proven vulnerable to cyberattacks in the past. Rockstar Games and Insomniac are among the studios to be heavily impacted by ransomware attacks, resulting in the release of a large amount of confidential data.
