CD Projekt ransomware hack severely disrupts work on Cyberpunk updates


The Polish company had planned to release a patch to fix bugs and other issues in the game this month, but said ‘the recent cyberattack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen’. — AFP

CD Projekt SA said on Feb 24 it will delay a promised update to the much-criticised role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077, pinning the blame for its slow progress on a recent security breach. As a result of the ransomware attack, which was disclosed on Feb 9, most of its employees have been locked out of their workstations for the past two weeks, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Polish company had planned to release a patch to fix bugs and other issues in the game this month. But “the recent cyberattack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen”, the company said in a tweet. It now aims to release the patch in the second half of March.
