GTA 6 leaker threatens early release over demands
A leaker calling themselves Cyberleek claims to have a working copy of GTA 6 and is threatening to leak the full story mode online unless Take-Two, the game's publisher, issues a public apology and releases physical discs. Alternatively, the leaker says the game will be released if a meme coin they're promoting hits a $30 million market cap. There's no independent verification of the claim, and Take-Two hasn't commented.
Why it mattersIf true, a leak of the full GTA 6 build would undermine years of development and could cause massive financial and reputational damage to Rockstar and Take-Two. The stunt also highlights the risks of criminal actors tying hacks or leaks to cryptocurrency schemes for personal gain.
