CD Projekt Red is issuing DMCA takedown notices to Twitter users sharing links to the company’s stolen data.
The Cyberpunk 2077 creator was the victim of a ransomware attack early this month, with hackers successfully copying the source code for all of CD Projekt’s recent titles, including an unreleased version of The Witcher 3, potentially an updated next-gen console edition.
In an attempt to prevent the stolen data from spreading further, CD Projekt Red is sending takedown notices to users sharing links to the stolen source code for Gwent, according to a Vice report.
“Description of infringement: Illegally obtained source code of Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. Posted without authorisation, not intended to be released to the public,” reads the DMCA notice.
