Poland’s biggest computer game maker CD Projekt SA dropped the most in a week after falling victim to what it described as a targeted cyber attack that threatens to expose source codes of its blockbuster titles.
The attack adds to CD Projekt’s woes as the company tries to clean up after a botched December release of its much-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 game. As the studio scrambles to return the title to Sony Playstation store, the incident could further slow down the process of releasing bug fixes and patches, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matthew Kanterman.
