The recent data leak of GTA 6 was not the result of a sophisticated cyber attack, but rather a phishing scam. According to reports from the gaming community, a hacker named Arion Kurtaj sent a fake email to a Rockstar employee in India, who inadvertently clicked on a malicious link, granting hackers access to browser data. This led to the unauthorized release of nearly 100 videos containing sensitive information about GTA 6.
The leak caused quite a stir in the gaming community, revealing details about the game, including the main character, gameplay mechanics, and setting. Rockstar took swift action to remove the leaked videos and pursued legal action against the hacker. Despite this setback, GTA 6 is still actively in development and is expected to launch in the fall of 2025. Fans are eagerly anticipating more official information about this highly anticipated game.
