Rockstar hack targets corporate data, players untouched
TL;DR
Rockstar Games confirmed a breach via a third‑party provider, with the hacking group ShinyHunters saying it gained access to Snowflake data and demanding a ransom by April 14. The company says the compromised data was limited in scope and has no impact on its organization or players; it’s unclear exactly what data was affected, but it appears to be corporate data rather than player information, potentially including financials or contracts. This follows a notorious GTA VI leak in 2022.
