Background Information
During Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation slot on June 10th, a hacker interrupted the speaker, causing a trailer for upcoming release Cyberpunk 2077 to play. Viewers online quickly noticed an IP address at the beginning of the hack sequence, 212.91.11.20. The IP resolves to a section of CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077 website, where a password prompt was found. Astute viewers realized the password likely had to do with cars based on the welcome message and connected a license plate number from the trailer, NC20 CP77. Only a very small pool of players were allowed through before the site suggested the quota had been reached.
Suspecting an ARG was building, players began to rummage the site and peruse other related media. They discovering the site had SSH connections enabled, outputting this ASCII-art message, as well as a "secure" subdomain. A password-protected "E3 Schedule" file was also found. RTSP is set up on the site, which players suspected might indicate future intent. Developers indicated in multiple messages via Discord and Twitter that players should wait as more information is coming.
