Threat actors are auctioning the alleged source code for CD Projekt Red games, including Witcher 3, Thronebreaker, and Cyberpunk 2077, that they state were stolen in a ransomware attack.
Yesterday, CD Projekt suffered a ransomware attack where the attackers claim to have stolen unencrypted source code for Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Gwent, and an unreleased version of Witcher 3.
Today, security researcher VX-Underground tweeted that the threat actors have started to auction what they claim is stolen data from the CD Projekt attack.
This data allegedly includes stolen internal documents, 'CD Projekt offenses,' and the source code for Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Thronebreaker, and an unreleased Witcher 3 version with raytracing.
To prove the stolen data's validity, the seller known as 'redengine' has shared a text file containing a directory listing from the alleged Witcher 3 source code.
As part of this data leak and to further prove the data's validity, this threat actor released a 21 GB archive for free on hacker forums that allegedly contains the source code for the Gwent card game.
