Rockstar Games has been hit by hackers for the second time in three years. A group called ShinyHunters — prolific English-speaking teen cybercriminals — claims to have breached servers managed by a third-party cloud provider and is threatening to publish stolen data after Rockstar refused to pay a ransom. Rockstar is downplaying the damage, telling the BBC the incident had "no impact" on the company or its players and that only "a limited amount of non-material information" was accessed. The breach echoes a 2023 hack by British teen Arion Kurtaj, who leaked GTA 6 footage and received an indefinite hospital order.
