Earlier this week, CD Projekt Red confirmed it had been a victim of a cyber attack. At the time, it stated it was being held ransom as a third-party party claimed to have obtained the source code for multiple games - alongside insider documents. Now, it seems the source codes are starting to leak and are being auctioned off online.
As spotted by Twitter user vx-underground (thanks, Toms Hardware), the source code for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game is the first to allegedly appear. It's also said that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077 are starting to be auctioned off today, beginning at $1,000,000. Although, the ransomed data is also said to be available to buy straight up for $7,000,000.
Toms Hardware has also reported finding the leaked Gwent files on a variety of forums, but all have since been removed. CD Projekt Red is yet to respond to the claims of the leaked files emerging online.
How do you feel about the cyber attack on CD Projekt Red? Let us know in the comments below.

The sooner these people are arrested the better
This is just disgusting. I feel sorry for CDPR. I read today that many employees are actually filing for new ID cards because they are afraid their personal details will be used to buy stuff on credit online.
Good. Stop defending CDPR. A CEO is not a creative director. The jobs are not interchangeable. That's why the game sucks.
@Jorb-Norb You think CDRP got what they deserved because they released an unfinished/buggy game?
@dmcc0 2 wrongs don't make a right & all that jazz
Hopefully these people get arrested.
From what I've read, seems to be an inside job, so should be able to narrow it down eventually.
@XBontendo I never suggested otherwise. I was genuinely interested whether @Jorb-Norb thought CDPR deserved this like it was some kind of "internet karma" or something; whether they though the first "wrong" justified the second so to speak.
I feel bad for the developers. Also, why would you pay that much money for a source code? Like, what would that accomplish?
First word that comes to mind.... Karma
