Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red tweeted that it’s been hacked and must pay a ransom or code from games like Cyberpunk 2077 and an “unreleased version of Witcher 3” will be revealed. The attackers have also dumped or threatened to dump “documents related to accounting, administration, legal, HR, investor relations and more.”
The company said that “an unidentified actor gained unauthorized access to our internal network, collected certain data belonging to CD Projekt capital group and left a ransom note the content of which we will release to the public.”
The company said that it “..will not give in to the demands nor negotiate with the actor, being aware that this may eventually lead to the release of the compromised data”. CDPR confirms that although some of its network devices have been encrypted, all of its backups remain intact and safe. The company has already secured its IT infrastructure and restored services, while the data is being restored in the background.
The company also attached the Ransom Note left by the hacker where it is mentioned that they were able to salvage the source code of Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Gwent, and an unreleased version of Witcher 3. Plus they were also able to get some internal documents containing information related to accounting, HR, investors, and more. While the cyberattack looks serious, the company has assured its users that all their data is safe and no personal details were compromised.
The company is still investigating the extent of the attack and has already informed law enforcement and Data Protection Office about the ordeal.
