CD Projekt Red game source code is already leaking - briefly
(hx) 12:03 AM CET - Feb,11 2021
- Post a comment Yesterday the developer and publisher of Witcher, Gwent and Cyberpunk franchises has confirmed it was a victim of a breach that might have enabled access to certain non-public data. In a series of tweets, the company claims that employees’ private data should be safe, however, the same thing couldn’t be said about game source codes. The first data has already been published on Mega.nz (and quickly taken down), but the contents have quickly spread on hacking forums and 4Chan. A website called CyberNews has already downloaded the files and they were able to verify that the data indeed contains the source code for Gwent, a card-playing game released by CD Projekt Red. All files have a modification date of February 5th, which might be the date when the breach had happened. The hackers have given CDPR 48 hours to pay the ransom, otherwise, the data would begin to leak. This indicates that the breach happened over the weekend and the time given to the developer has already expired. The developer has already confirmed it will not give in to the demands of the actor.
