CDPR Hack: "Fake" Rumours Addressed by Insider

Industry Insider Jason Schreier has entered the debate surrounding the CDPR Hack.

CDPR, the developers for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher III, have been hacked and threatened with further action.

Over the last 24 hours, the CDPR Team discovered the attack on their internal systems and chose to publically address the issue.

In a Twitter post, CD Projekt Red discuss several key points of the breach alongside sharing the "ransom note" left by the actors in the Cyber Attack.

LATEST - Was It Fake?

Despite speculation of the whole "Hack" being fabricated, Industry Insider Jason Schreier has suggested that these are mere rumours.

Reportedly, CDPR staff are taking the situation seriously and have been taking steps to protect themselves from fraud.

If it is a fake hack, then from the sounds of things it would be coming from the very top.

Personal Data

When anyone reads that a gaming company has been hacked, it almost becomes second nature to worry that this is a personal data breach.

Although the situation of CDPR being hacked could continue to worsen, the developer has confirmed in its statement that "to [their] best knowledge" no personal data was lost.

CDPR still appear to be expecting some compromised data to be leaked after reinforcing their position against the actors acting against them.

As of writing, we do not have confirmation regarding which internal systems were accessed and what information was compromised.

Ransom Note

Alongside their own statement, CDPR has decided to share the "ransom note" they were left with following the attack on their internal systems.

It reads that they have been "epically pwned" and lists some of the information that has been accessed. Whether this is accurate or not is another matter.

The hackers have reportedly "encrypted all of [CDPR's] servers", dumping a large portion of the company's administration files across a number of departments.

In addition to this, it seems that they have "dumped FULL copies of the source codes from [their] Preforce servers".

The "ransom note" also mentions that demands have been made, however, this information has not been revealed yet.
