A security flaw in patches from game developer Naughty Dog gave hackers access to unreleased content from the upcoming The Last of Us Part II that was stored in an Amazon S3 bucket.

About a week ago, spoiler-filled footage from the announced title emerged online, setting fans of the game ablaze.
According to a game tester in Los Angeles area using the Twitter handle PixelButts, the individuals that initially found and exploited the flaw are different from those that leaked footage from The Last of Us Part II (TLoU2). He describes in a thread how the unauthorized access happened and how leak may have happened.
Leakers not affiliated with developer
PixelButts says that he received the details from someone that was involved in the compromise but did not leak the material. His source said that accessing the Amazon server was no longer possible on April 30, suggesting that the game developer fixed the problem.

OK: After talking to two people with direct knowledge of how TLOU2 leaked as well as some Naughty Dog employees, I have a good idea of what happened. Short version: hackers found a security vulnerability in a patch for an older ND game and used it to get access to ND’s servers.
