According to CD Projekt, devices on its network were encrypted, but they began to restore their IT infrastructure and data through backups. “We will not give in to demands or negotiate with the actor, knowing that this could potentially lead to the disclosure of the compromised data,” the company’s Twitter statement said. CD Projekt Red states that to its knowledge, “the compromised systems did not contain any personal data of our players or users of our services”. The company has contacted the relevant authorities, including the chairman of the personal data protection office and computer forensics specialists, who will investigate the cyber attack.

In other news from CD Projekt Red, the company recently published a patch for Cyberpunk 2077 which eliminated a vulnerability that could make PC modders vulnerable to malicious hackers. Tesla recently revealed that its new cars can run The Witcher 3 via built-in 10 Teraflop play platforms.
