Rockstar Games Hit by Ransomware

For the second time in three years, Rockstar Games is dealing with a major security breach as it prepares for the highly anticipated release of GTA 6.

The hackers reportedly gained access to metrics and other data through a third-party cloud provider, Anodot.

While Rockstar insists the incident will not impact the game's development or release schedule, the hackers have set a deadline for payment.

The attack highlights the ongoing vulnerability of major gaming companies to sophisticated cyber-extortion groups.
