Mon, 13 Apr 2026 GTA-maker Rockstar Games hacked again but downplays impact

The incident marks the second time the games giant has been hacked by young, English-speaking hackers.
Rockstar Games has been hit by a data breach for the second time in three years, with hackers claiming they accessed company servers managed by a third-party cloud provider. The hackers, known as ShinyHunters, have threatened to publish stolen material online unless paid a ransom. However, Rockstar downplayed the breach, saying it had no impact on their organisation or players. A spokesperson confirmed that only non-material company information was accessed, but did not provide further details.
