Hackers have just attacked the server of CD PROJEKT and took away many important documents.

The content of the ransom claim is recorded in the Notepad file as follows:

Hello CD PROJEKT

You have been played an epic amount of play!

We have on hand ALL copies of the source code from our local server, the source code of Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Gwent and the unreleased version of Witcher 3 !!!

We also have a complete set of documents relating to financial, regulatory, legal, human resources, investor links and more!

And yet, we have fully encrypted your servers, but we understand you can still recover with your backup data.

If we do not reach an agreement, your source code will be sold or posted online and the document will be sent to the gaming industry newspapers we have. Your public image will get even worse and people will see how disgusting your company is operating. Investors will lose confidence in your company and the share price will fall even more!

You have 48 hours to contact us again.

In the post announced, CD PROJEKT confirmed that it will not compromise with bad guys. They confirmed that backup data is still intact and is recovering, while reassuring gamers that personal data of gamers and service users are still safe from being stored on other systems.

Fully understanding that rejecting the hackers’ offer would expose their source code, CD PROJEKT quickly contacted stakeholders to minimize possible damage. Authorities are involved in helping CD PROJEKT investigate further and find the culprit.
