How a Resident Evil image leaked in a ransomware attack ended up in the middle of $12m copyright claim

Capcom suffered a ransomware attack on game developer Capcom last November. Capcom refused to pay the ransom, and the group behind the attack said that was the wrong move. Capcom had the chance to save data from leakage; they did not take it. A whole collection of files were leaked soon after. Capcom is now facing a lawsuit in June 2021. Artist in this case is seeking $12m in damages from Capcom. At least one of the images from the stolen and leaked files shares the same file name as what appears to be an identical image from the books CD-ROM.”]
