Ahead Of GTA 6, Rockstar Hacked By Ransomware Group Again

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-everything-we-know/1100-6503729/">Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar Games has been targeted by hackers again.

A group called ShinyHunters claims it broke into servers run by the third-party cloud provider Anodot.

ShinyHunters said the stolen data would be published online as their demands had not been met.

Rockstar confirmed the hack in a statement to https://kotaku.com/rockstar-games-reportedly-hacked-massive-data-leak-ransom-gta-6-shinyhunters-2000686858">Kotaku, but said the breach was not serious and it has confirmed that it will https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2dg5g1le7o">not pay the ransom.

A spokesperson explained, "We can confirm that a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed in connection with a third-party data breach."

The hacker group announced on April 11 that it accessed the data through Anodot (according to https://thecybersecguru.com/news/rockstar-games-snowflake-breach/">Cybersec Guru and https://hackread.com/shinyhunters-rockstar-games-snowflake-breach-anodot/">Hackread).

Hackers often target these third-party service providers, but ShinyHunters has not yet said what kind of data it took.

After news of the hack, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar's parent company, saw its share price drop by more than 6% in pre-market trading.

The stock price did rebound afterward to its usual levels.
