CD Projekt Red gave a global announcement today regarding this issue. The company said, " Yesterday we discovered that we have become a victim of a targeted cyber attack,
due to which some of our internal systems have been compromised.

An unidentified actor gained unauthorized access to our internal network, collected
certain data belonging to CD PROJEKT capital group, and left a ransom note the
content of which we release to the public. Although some devices in our network
have been encrypted, our backups remain intact. We have already secured our IT
infrastructure and begun restoring the data.


We will not give in to the demands nor negotiate with the actor, being aware that this may eventually lead to the release of the compromised data. We are takingnecessary steps to mitigate the consequences of such a release, in particular by approaching any parties that may be affected due to the breach.
