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.

From Hacks to Bioweapons, Claude Misuse Is Now Everywhere
Anthropic reports Claude was misused by Midnight Blizzard, ShinyHunters, disinformation campaigns, and bioweapon attempts; roundup also covers Xinbi takedown.
Anthropic's new report documents eight months of Claude misuse: Russian state-sponsored hackers (Microsoft-named Midnight Blizzard) used it for reconnaissance against Ukrainian and European government networks, stealing data and maintaining access, while ShinyHunters used it across hacking and extortion campaigns, and users attempted bioweapon development. Anthropic says it disrupted the activity. The WIRED roundup also covers the US seizure and sanctioning of Xinbi Guarantee, a Telegram black market with $30 billion-plus in sales mostly laundering pig-butchering scam proceeds, plus DOJ raids on 13 scam compounds in Madagascar and a four-year prison sentence for a Conti ransomware member. Meta faces scrutiny over AI child abuse ads and a class action over photo harvesting for AI training.
