Cyberpunk 2077 Code Allegedly Up For Auction After CD Projekt Red Hack
Following the CD Projekt Red hack earlier this week , those responsible have taken the source code to the developer's games--like Cyberpunk 2077 , Gwent , and The Witcher 3 --to an online auction site, allegedly starting a bid for $1 million and selling the entire kit for $7 million. According to the well-known data security firm vx-underground , the hackers posted the source code to the Exploits forum, an internet forum populated by other hackers. Vx-underground said the hackers started a bid at $1 million for the code to Cyberpunk 2077, the free-to-play card-based game Gwent, and an unreleased version of The Witcher 3. The hackers are supposedly selling the code immediately to anyone willing to shell out $7 million. Update: a mistake was made. They stated starting bid $1kk. This was assumed as a typo for $1,000. They meant $1,000,000. They are also selling immediately for $7,000,000. @DrFurfagMD pic.twitter.com/JnOcwnGqZk — vx-underground (@vxunderground) … [Read more...] about Cyberpunk 2077 Code Allegedly Up For Auction After CD Projekt Red Hack
