Rockstar Hackers Leak Data Early After GTA 6 Maker Refuses To Pay Ransom

Hacker group ShinyHunters has followed through with its threatened early release of Rockstar's private data in response to the developer not paying its ransom, and as we suspected, it wasn't a particularly damaging leak. In fact, Rockstar's previous response of, "We can confirm that a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed with a third-party data breach. The incident has no impact on our our organization or our players" now rings even more true. No new information relating to Grand Theft Auto VI has been released, and in fact all that really seems to be present is some financial data.


Not "financial data" as in banking information or anything, either: just statistics. The statistics that have drawn the most attention, per a post on the GTA Forums, are those on Red Dead Online and Grand Theft Auto Online, including the market share per-platform and weekly revenue per-service. On average, Red Dead Online makes $507,193 a week...a number far eclipsed by Grand Theft Auto Online's obscene $9.592,109 average.
