      I almost feel like they get hacked on purpose so they can delay with a reason, hoping people don’t get mad when they do it. Or they really suck at security. This is like the 3rd GTA hack

      Such a shame for such a small independent company who couldn’t possibly have the budget for proper cyber security.

      Can they at least tell us where GTA 6 stands in development, release time lines lol

    6. Human_Diamond960 on

      Hey what if they delete gta 6 and we have to wait for like year 3000 to game release

      >The hackers didn’t actually crack Snowflake’s security, however. Instead, it’s reported that the group gained access to the data via Anodot, a cloud cost monitoring and analytics software service that Rockstar and other companies use to manage cloud data

      Ironic they get fucked by software implemented to count pennies.

      For reference, this hack concerns the details of their employees. It’s not details of the game. A very unfortunate situation, they might actually be better off complying. No idea what they’ll do though, but I don’t envy the person that has to make that decision.

      Confirmed with Kotaku. Rockstar Games issued this statement

      > “We can confirm that a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed in connection with a third-party data breach. This incident has no impact on our organization or our players,” said a Rockstar spokesperson.

      Oh no they’re gonna leak to everyone that you shoot people and steal cars in gta 6

    16. Minute_Attempt3063 on

      I do wonder…. if R*… you know, really cares

      the leaks about GTA6 were bad, because people do not understand the word “pre-alpha game”

      At this point Rockstar getting hacked is basically a yearly tradition. Maybe allocate some of that shark card money to cybersecurity.

      “Monkey Paw Curls” anything that gets leaked is removed from the game GTA VI gets pushed back a year for each day the hackers hold Ransom…

      Wow, I ignored a sysadmin job endlessly pinging my feed out of there just like a few months back lol.

    35. StatementCareful522 on

      Hackers should say GTA 6 is being delayed again to winter 2027 just to get a reaction from Rockstar’s marketing department to appease their concerned shareholders

    36. CertainlyRobotic on

      I’d imagine this was an inside job and if they’re smart they’ll first look at employees.

    37. julienjj on

      In a massive turnaround, rockstar threaten the hackers to delay the game release if data is leaked.

    40. Faintfury on

      If only there was an llm that lets you check for security flaws…

      Better never release that so that nobody can be secure…

    41. JonKonLGL on

      Maybe the hackers will release actual gameplay of GTA6, that’s more than Rockstar is willing to do.

    42. Emergency-Two-6407 on

      It comes out in 6 months who fucking cares, we are all gonna buy it anyways

    43. Running-With-Cakes on

      It’d be funny if instead Rock* offered a bounty to the community to find the hackers

    44. CodeName_carll on

      Conspiracy theory, but what if it’s a rockstar inside job to excuse delaying the game realease😂

    48. Trevors-Axiom- on

      They are gonna tell everyone how many times I got my horse killed in RDR2…..
