CD Projekt RED has just issued a statement acknowledging that they are the victims of a cyber attack.
The company has been having a tough year, and things seem to be getting worse. In a press release posted on Twitter, CD Project RED contains a screenshot of a ransom note left by the intruder on its servers. The source code of Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Gwent, “and a version of The Witcher 3 (probably the remaster) have been captured or encrypted. If you read the note, it does not end, there are private documents of CDPRs financial accounting, administration, law, HR, and more have fallen victim.
CDPR stated that it would not comply with the attacker’s requests, and reached out to law enforcement. The hacker at his end gives CD Projekt RED 48 hours to contact him / them for an agreement. However, the requirement is not listed.
Updated:
Earlier today, leaks of conceivable legal source code began appearing on online forums, as noted on Twitter by the cyber security account VX-underground. This initial leak apparently contains the source code of the CDPR’s virtual card game Gwent. The files were placed on Mega.nz and quickly deleted. However, it did not take long before the content spread across the most well-known hacking forums. A website called CyberNews has already downloaded these files and confirmed that it is actually the source code for Gwent, the card game released by CD Projekt in 2016.
We assume this is a real auction by a real seller who obtained the data. The seller offers to use a sponsor and he only allows those who have a deposit to participate – a tactic used by many sellers to show that they are serious and to ensure that no scam takes place, ” a spokesman for KELA (a company that monitors the dark web) said. An auction is offering source code files for both the Red Engine and CDPR game releases, including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales spin-off, and the recently released Cyberpunk 2077. The stolen material also allegedly contains internal documents, although it is not clear what types of documents or additional material the complete cabinet contains.
According to KELA, the starting price of the auction is $ 1 million, with higher bids in increases of $ 500,000 and a buy-now price of $ 7 million. Only users who deposit 0.1 bitcoin can participate, so Kivilevich believes that the hackers are serious about offering the auction and that the material for sale is probably legal because it ensures that no one participating in the auction tries the sellers. do not cheat.
Update 2:
Apparently there was a bidding source code from Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, the card game Gwent was sold. According to cyber specialists, the seller would have received a ‘satisfactory’ offer outside the auction, and therefore they closed it. Not everyone is convinced that the data was sold. According to security analyst Emsisoft, it is possible that there were no potential buyers at all. The criminals would then have stopped the sale to give the impression that the source code had been sold.
