The GTA VI leaks are breaking the internet. Security researchers have seen this before.
A hacker or insider leaked GTA VI gameplay footage before launch, triggering Take-Two DMCA subpoenas against Discord, Google, Microsoft and X.
The persona "CyberLeek" published stolen Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay footage and a manifesto, in what experts call a familiar data extortion playbook with monetization via watermarks, crypto wallets and a memecoin. Take-Two Interactive obtained DMCA subpoenas against Discord, Microsoft and X, and sent copyright notices to Google, treating the case like an insider threat investigation. GTA VI is projected to earn $3.3–5.2 billion in launch-week sales, raising financial and reputational stakes. Related leak websites went offline after the subpoenas.

Chess.com Leak Exposes 7.3 Million Users — Evidence Points to Scraping
A free 15.5 GB leak exposed 7.3 million Chess.com user records; analysis suggests large-scale scraping via find-friends rather than a server breach.
A 15.5 GB dump containing 7,337,395 Chess.com records appeared on leak forums posted by user V0idix at no cost. Ransomnews confirmed the data is genuine by validating embedded v1 UUID timestamps against registration dates, but found daily-batch collection over nine days and ~7.4% duplicate records, pointing to scraping. The schema includes emails, ratings, subscription tiers and internal Google Ad Manager audience segments not exposed in the public API, and contains no passwords or payment data. Chess.com reported a similar 828,000-record 2023 leak from find-friends abuse and said then that it was not a breach.
