Rockstar Games bestätigt, dass es von einer böswilligen Gruppe gehackt wurde – „ShinyHunters“ nimmt die Schuld auf sich und gibt bis zum 14. April Zeit, um das Lösegeld zu zahlen, andernfalls werden vertrauliche Daten veröffentlicht

Hackers will release gta6 before it is made.

2nd time in a year. So they’re just complete shit at security huh

I doubt my statement is remotely accurate- but, what if this round is a PR stunt and there’s a hacking part of the game. LOL

inb4 excuse to not deliver GTA6 in ‘26

Rockstar uses Snowflake, a popular cloud infrastructure. The group extracted Snowflake’s authentication tokens from Anodot (a monitoring and analysis tool) to pass as regular users and access Snowflake accounts.

>Once in, they easily stole the data, which likely doesn’t include passwords or sensitive player info, and perhaps not even bits from active game development. Still, there will be confidential corporate data that Rockstar doesn’t want to float around otherwise.

Second time, is their security team asleep?

Kinda wild it sounds like there might not be good privilege separation there. I don’t know much about Anodot but if it’s a monitoring tool, why does it have creds to access, well, anything other than maybe some random key to get some JSON? It’s really easy to abstract stuff so monitoring can take a look without giving it any API keys or other more privileged access.

Release the kraken! Errr… the GTA6!
