Following a targeted cyberattack, source codes for the game developer CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 (including an unreleased version) and Gwent: The Witcher Card Game have all been reportedly sold at auction on the dark web for $7 million.

Cybersecurity experts who have analyzed the ransom note have unofficially identified the perpetrators of the attack as the hacking group HelloKitty, and the game developer has been in contact with authorities, who are still investigating the incident. CDPR's statement read, "We are taking necessary steps to mitigate the consequences of such a release, in particular by approaching any parties that may be affected due to the breach." The statement also mentioned that the developers would neither negotiate nor pay any kind of ransom, fully aware that this could lead to the release of company data.
 
Not only that, but they can usually find some new development methods that CD Projekt Red might have used for their games recently that they can then take advantage of. Plus, it should make creating mods for the games easier.
 
I feel the buyer of the source code may also someday release the source code to the public for free, so the buyer of the source code can embarrass CD Projekt Red's reputation more, and cause CD Projekt stock price to be worth less money.
 
Can we just highlight the ransom note as well. It must have been a very professional hacker to leave such an awful note. Looks like it was written by a 9 year old :tearsofjoy:
