Rockstar confirmed on Saturday that data was compromised during a breach of a third-party provider. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility, stating it accessed Rockstar’s Snowflake instances through Anodot, a cost-monitoring and analytics service. The group demands a ransom by April 14th to prevent leaking the stolen data.
In a statement provided to Kotaku, Rockstar mentioned the compromised data was limited and stated, “this incident has no impact on our organization or our players.”
It’s unclear which data was compromised, but it appears the hack targeted corporate information rather than player data. Financial records, marketing data, or contracts with companies like Sony and Microsoft might be involved.
This isn’t Rockstar’s first high-profile hack. In 2022, a large number of GTA VI videos leaked online by Lapsus$.
