New data from the February hack of CD Projekt Red, the videogame-development company behind Cyberpunk 2077 and the Witcher series, is circulating online.

It added that it's in the process of clarifying just which data is being circulated, "Though we believe it may include current/former employee and contractor details in addition to data related to our games. Furthermore, we cannot confirm whether or not the data involved may have been manipulated or tampered with following the breach."

The company added, "Regardless of the authenticity of the data being circulated - we will do everything in our power to protect the privacy of our employees, as well as all other involved parties. We are committed and prepared to take action against parties sharing the data in question."

It should be noted that ransomware gang seemingly previously made good on its promise to auction off the company's data, when source code for Cyberpunk 2077 and the aforementioned unreleased version of the Witcher 3 was purportedly put up for sale in February on the well-known Russian-language underground forum "Exploit."

"Digital Shadows has seen several attempts to either sell or expose data related to CD Projekt Red since February, with unconfirmed actors first trying to auction game and other internal company data on a well-known Russian language forum," Sean Nikkel, senior cyber-threat intel analyst at Digital Shadows, told Threatpost.

"Most recently, threat actors released just over 300GB of data allegedly belonging to CD Projekt Red on the Payload.bin data leak site, which is a Dark Web site associated with Babuk Locker ransomware."
