CD Projekt Red has provided an update on the security breach that the
Cyberpunk and Witcher studio suffered back in February. In an update on its
website, CD Projekt Red says it now has reason to believe that the data
that was illegally obtained from hackers is now being circulated around the
internet.

This information may include information about current and former employees
and contractors, along with "data related to our games." CD Projekt Red
said it cannot say for sure what data is being released across the
internet, nor can it say if the data has been "manipulated or tampered with
following the breach."

To get to the bottom of the matter, CD Projekt Red said it is currently
working with an "extensive network of appropriate services, experts, and
law enforcement agencies, including the General Police Headquarters of
Poland." CD Projekt Red has also reached out to Interpol and Europol for
assistance in this matter.

CD Projekt Red also confirmed what measures it has taken to reduce the
likelihood of something like this happening again in the future. This
includes the following:

   - our core IT infrastructure has been redesigned and rolled out;
   - new next-generation firewalls with advanced anti-malware protection
   have been implemented;
   - a new remote-access solution has been employed;
   - the number of privileged accounts, and access rights to accounts, has
   been limited;
   - a new mechanism for the protection of endpoints, servers, and networks
   has been installed;
   - our event-monitoring mechanisms have been improved;
   - we have expanded our internal security department;
   - we have established cooperation with multiple external cybersecurity &
   IT specialists.

Finally, CD Projekt Red said it is committed to doing "everything in our
power" to protect the privacy of its employees and other people who work
with it. "We are committed and prepared to take action against parties
sharing the data in question," the studio said.

CD Projekt Red released this update in the middle of the Summer Game Fest
Kickoff event.
