Millions of Rockstar Games Business Records Stolen, Hacking Group ...
The files mainly contain business and revenue metrics, with no GTA 6 source code, player data or game assets, researchers said.
- On Monday, April 13, 2026, the hacking group ShinyHunters released over 78.6 million records stolen from Rockstar Games after the developer refused to pay a ransom.
- ShinyHunters allegedly told Rockstar, "This is a final warning to reach out by 14 Apr 2026 before we leak," after exploiting Anodot authentication tokens to access Snowflake accounts.
- The leaked files primarily contain "internal analytics used to monitor Rockstar's online services and support tickets," with no Grand Theft Auto 6 source code, contrary to gaming community fears.
- Financial data within the leak reveals Rockstar earned around $1 million daily from GTA Online during pandemic holidays, while Red Dead Online has around 15,000 paying weekly customers.
