CD Projekt said that the compromised systems did not contain any personal data of its players or users of its services.
CD Projekt said “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 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.” which then means that the source codes will be leaked as well the company data that was stolen. The company said it will closely cooperate with authorities to fully investigate this incident and will try to mitigate any damage that can be done by this leak.
