Unfortunately, excessive stakes cybercrime in the actual world isn’t fairly as cool because it appears in Cyberpunk 2077. There’s no punked-up jacket plugging USB cables into his eyeballs to steal company secrets and techniques right here – as a substitute, it’s chumps making an attempt their luck with e-mail scams suggesting that you just (sure, you!) have been given particular entry to the game’s supposedly-upcoming beta. It’s gotten unhealthy sufficient that the devs have stepped in, warning followers that no, these aren’t legit, and there in all probability received’t even be a beta.
But you’re a sensible child, proper? You in all probability knew that already.
With seemingly tons of those scams doing the rounds over the past week or so, builders CD Projekt Red have stepped in to remind followers that no, they aren’t sending out emails providing entry right into a supposed Cyberpunk 2077 beta.
1/2 If you latterly acquired an e-mail claiming to be granting you beta entry to Cyberpunk 2077, it is not from us. Unfortunately, there have been extra of those being despatched out over the previous few weeks. When we contact you through e-mail, it will all the time come from @ cdprojektred com tackle

Further down within the replies the account means that CDPR don’t even have plans for a beta in any respect. If they ever change their thoughts or produce other causes to contact you, nevertheless, it’ll come from an official cdprojektred.com e-mail tackle and by no means a 3rd occasion, as these scams seem to say. Suffice to say, if a mysterious e-mail asks on your contact deets underneath the promise of a cool shiny toy, possibly don’t?
Further delays however, Cyberpunk 2077 needs to be with us on November 19th. There needs to be one other Night City Wire occasion someday quickly, following final month’s debut wot confirmed off brainjacking investigations and a Netflix anime series. Mind, earlier this month it regarded like they removed wallrunning from the game, objectively ruining the ultimate product.
Until then – attempt to maintain your self out of any digital misdemeanours, okay?
