Hackers Steal Rockstar Source Code, 78.6 Million Records and Playable GTA VI Build
Lares links separate Rockstar intrusions to stolen source code, 78.6 million analytics records, and a leaked GTA VI build.
A Lares analysis describes separate Rockstar Games intrusions rather than one combined theft. In September 2022, Lapsus$ used legitimate credentials and repeated authentication prompts to steal about 90 development videos and proprietary source code, then searched Slack and Confluence for plaintext secrets. In April 2026, ShinyHunters took 78.6 million business analytics records after compromising Anodot and reusing long-lived OAuth tokens against Rockstar's Snowflake warehouse; player passwords, payments, source code, and GTA VI assets were not in that dataset. In August 2026, Cyberleek published footage from what researchers call an unfinished playable GTA VI build, while fake 113GB downloads have hidden a roughly 50KB payload.
