Hopefully this doesn't affect CDPR's employees. Can't imagine "people are mad at your game and doxxed you" must feel like a good reward for crunching mercilessly.

It wasn't me, I have Kereznikov installed. I wonder if this will delay the February patch. I wonder how long ago their backups are from? Edit: based on the ransom note I have narrowed down the suspect

I would assume a company that makes code for a living would backup every single day? Maybe automatically make a backup every time something is saved? I don't know what I'm talking about but that feels like what should happen.

Yes, they very likely have backups of everything but if the data stolen actually has HR data as claimed, then that data is already out there and it really sucks for the employees. HR data could go from a list of names and titles to salaries, personal addresses, dependents, etc. I feel sorry for the employees who now have to live with this because some manchildren were mad at a video game company.

While code loss is an issue the internal emails the hacker is threating can turn this into a huge headache for CDPR with multiple investor lawsuits going on.

It doesn't seem like they got hacked because gamers are mad about Cyberpunk. It seems like they got hacked because some criminals want money for doing blackmail. Unless you mean that need to worry about their safety because some psycho gamer that has an axe to grind over Cyberpunk now has their address. Which is a concern but has there ever actually been a case of a pissed off gamer tracking down a dev and doing something to them? I'm not trying to be dismissive I don't be worried if my address was being passed around to god knows who and I don't even make video games.

So far hackers haven't shown any examples of stuff lifted from the CDPR servers, so it's entirely possible they "only" encrypted a couple of machines. Props to CDPR for disclosing the breach.

And as for "gamers" coming to get you, be that as it may - you should also consider people who have very real active stalkers/exes etc. Now that your up-to-date personal info is out there (I'm assuming the data will be dumped somewhere soon), not exactly fun to deal with. I mean, everyone at cdpr had their exposure going up just now. Like your employer is the one place where you have hand over your contact info. edit: what I'm trying to say is that not everyone walks around with their linkedin profile and favorite pet names on their forehead - for good reasons. These people are now hosed. Data breaches take a real loving psychological toll on the people in the data, regardless of if there is someone malicious out there with the imagination to put it to bad use.

That feel when a crime is grim, unfair, and undeserved, but also amusingly ironic given the victim's occupation.

If someone wanted to delay things even longer and to make the game eventually worse by doing this, they’re doing a better job of ruining things than actively harmful management ever could.

Well, the actively harmful management now has to handle this crisis. This will be the year when the human capital starts to bleed - or they'll manage to turn the ship around. Confidence is at an all time high I'd imagine.

Hopefully the hack won't affect the common dev too much but I'm also kinda hoping that some of the documents might shed some light on what exactly happen to the company to create such a trainwreck of a game.

This happens to companies regardless of the industry. My friends energy consulting group had a similar hack occur. CDPR is vulnerable and anyone can see that, so they are a perfect target for this. And the true threat here is the contract practices stuff since that is implying they hosed over people.

I don't know what I'm talking about but that feels like what should happen. Yes, they should be using a version control system with multiple copies on the network in case there's a hardware failure anyway. I mean, from a software perspective this isn't a huge deal. They probably didn't lose any code at all. Also, CDPR already releases their games DRM-free so it's not like releasing code would have an immediate impact. Their games also are only singleplayer so far (except Gwent), so they don't have to worry much about leaked source code affecting live services.
