Poland’s CD Projekt delays Cyberpunk 2077 fix due to cyber attack
WARSAW, - Polish video games maker CD Projekt is delaying the release of a patch for its Cyberpunk 2077 game until the second half of March, it said on Wednesday, after a cyber attack slowed down work on fixes for the troubled game. The cyber attack earlier this month compromised some of CD Projekt's internal systems including the source code to Cyberpunk 2077, dealing another blow to the Warsaw-based business after the game's launch was beset by glitches. "While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio's IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen," the company wrote on Twitter. After releasing some fixes for the game in January, the company had planned to release a bigger patch in February. Shares in the company, which rose to fame on the back of the success of its medieval fantasy Witcher series, plunged at the end of last … [Read more...] about Poland’s CD Projekt delays Cyberpunk 2077 fix due to cyber attack

Assad Secret Police Torturer Convicted in Germany, Sentenced to 4.5 Years
BERLIN (AP) – A former member of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s secret police was convicted Wednesday by a German court of facilitating the torture of prisoners in a landmark ruling that human rights activists hope will set a precedent for other cases in the decade-long conflict. Eyad Al-Gharib was convicted of accessory to crimes against humanity and sentenced by the Koblenz state court to 4 1/2 years in prison. It was the first time that a court outside Syria ruled in a case alleging Syrian government officials committed crimes against humanity. German prosecutors invoked the principle of universal jurisdiction for serious crimes to bring the case that involved victims and defendants who were in Germany. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the trial was a step against impunity in the conflict. His country has given refuge to hundreds of thousands of Syrians fleeing violence and hardship in their homeland, and backed international efforts to collect prosecutable evidence … [Read more...] about Assad Secret Police Torturer Convicted in Germany, Sentenced to 4.5 Years
