Modders Beware – Hackers can use Cyberpunk 2077 to hack your PC
Modders Beware – Hackers can use Cyberpunk 2077 to hack your PC
In a recent Twitter post, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that they will be working to patch the game as soon as possible to address the issue, and have warned their players from using files from “unknown sources”.Â
Using mods or custom saves, hackers could potentially use Cyberpunk 2077 to literally hack your PC. This is not a good look for any game, especially one with hacking as one of its main themes.Â
For now, PC gamers should stay away from mods of custom Cyberpunk 2077 saves that come from unverified sources. We expect CD Projekt Red to release a hotfix for this issue within the next few days.Â

If you plan to use @CyberpunkGame mods/custom saves on PC, use caution. We’ve been made aware of a vulnerability in external DLL files the game uses which can be used to execute code on PCs. Issue will be fixed ASAP. For now, please refrain from using files from unknown sources.
