In those forum posts the hackers said they have taken the source code for FIFA 21, as well as code for its matchmaking server. The hackers also said they have obtained source code and tools for the Frostbite engine, which powers a number of EA games including Battlefield. Other stolen information includes proprietary EA frameworks and software development kits (SDKs), bundles of code that can make game development more streamlined. In all, the hackers say they have 780gb of data, and are advertising it for sale in various underground hacking forum posts viewed by Motherboard.

And what exactly could one do with it anyway? 

 

Dig through it for the fun of it, build it for another platform or make mods to the core game. In the end really not much. The only thing of real value might be if platform SDKs were contained within the data as that is valuable for reversing out the security or how stuff is build for a given platform. Also if canceled games/prototypes are in the data people might find some interest in digging them out.
