ⓘ Rockstar/Take-Two/Microsoft/Discord

The recent GTA 6 leaks have taken over the internet, and Take-Two has been trying to take them down, along with attempting to identify the hacker group responsible. Their latest move involves issuing a subpoena to Microsoft and Discord in order to get access to any data that would lead to identifying the hacker group.

For context, a hacker group called CyberLeek has been posting gameplay footage of an older build of GTA 6. It seems they have somehow gotten access to what seems to be a fully playable build of the game, and are threatening Rockstar with more leaks if they don’t meet their demands. CyberLeek wants publishers to stop selling digital preorders, stop “fake” single-player DLC, and preserve single-player content. They have also demanded a public apology from Rockstar.

According to Kotaku, Take-Two has filed a subpoena with the Southern District Court of New York to obtain information on Microsoft and Discord user accounts that may be associated with the hacker group.

The subpoena reads:

All identifying information associated with all user accounts that are/were members communicating with the Discord server(s) listed below during the time period from June 1, 2026 to present; and for those accounts, provide any associated device/telemetry records where one or more of the tool/file artifacts below were present on the system. For each returned account, provide: the account ID, registration email, registration and last-login IP addresses, phone number, linked connections (Google/Xbox/etc.), any associated device identifiers (MachineGuid/MSA), and content related to Grand Theft Auto (‘GTA’), Rockstar or Cyberleek from their OneDrive account.

The publication adds that both Microsoft and Discord have till September 4 to produce the requested information. With this, Take-Two hopes to find the culprits and take strict action against them. Meanwhile, the leaks are proving to be quite lucrative for the hacker group, as it’s promoting a cryptocurrency through the leaked videos. There is also speculation that a second hacker group may have access to the GTA 6 build.
