Polish gaming company CD Projekt, maker of the infamous Cyberpunk 2077, said on Tuesday it had fallen victim to a “targeted cyber attack” from an “unidentified actor” that was threatening to leak its source codes and internal documents.
CD Projekt said that during the attack, which it discovered on Monday, someone had “gained unauthorised access to our internal network, collected certain data belonging to CD Projekt capital group” and was now demanding a ransom. Its shares tumbled 6 per cent on the news.
