Artigo continua após enquete 1 ### Qual o seu protagonista favorito do GTA 6? 1Lucia 2Jason Ok press **Enter** ↵ Feito por: Through a post on the *dark web*, the group issued a direct ultimatum: "*Rockstar Games, your Snowflake instances have been compromised… Pay up or we'll leak*." The deadline set by the criminals ends next Tuesday, **April 14, 2026**. O artigo continua após as sugestões[End of silence: Take-Two CEO confirms that GTA 6 marketing will begin “soon”](https://en.viciados.net/end-of-silence-take-two-ceo-confirms-that-gta-6-marketing-will-begin-soon/) [“Xuxa’s PC” breathes: The Division Resurgence arrives on PC requiring very little hardware](https://en.viciados.net/xuxas-pc-breathes-the-division-resurgence-arrives-on-pc-requiring-very-little-hardware/) [Ubisoft releases The Division Resurgence for PC in early access and details future seasons](https://en.viciados.net/ubisoft-releases-the-division-resurgence-for-pc-in-early-access-and-details-future-seasons/) ## How did the breach allegedly occur? Unlike the 2022 attack, which involved social engineering on **Slack**, this time the breach appears to have come from a third party. - **The Anodot breach:** The group reportedly exploited a vulnerability in **Anodot**, an **AI**-based integration platform used by **Rockstar Games**. - **The method:** By compromising **Anodot**, the hackers reportedly obtained "authentication tokens," which allowed them to access **Rockstar**’s data on **Snowflake**without needing passwords, bypassing security systems undetectably. ## Is GTA 6 or user data at risk? So far, **there is no evidence** that user passwords or payment details (such as credit cards) have been accessed. The group’s focus appears to be strictly on**corporate data**. However, for a game like **GTA 6,** “corporate data” can range from source code to marketing schedules and internal trailers. ### Who are the ShinyHunters? This is not an amateur group. Active since 2020, the **ShinyHunters** have already hacked giants like **Microsoft, AT&T, Ticketmaster, and the European Commission**. They are known for extracting large databases for extortion and the sale of information. We are just a few months away from the release of the most anticipated game in history, and a massive leak now could harm the marketing and morale of the development team. For now, **Rockstar**and **Take-Two** remain silent. **See also:**[GTA 6 in Portugal and Brazil: Rockstar Games seeks specialist to lead marketing in Portuguese](https://viciados.net/gta-6-portugal-brasil-rockstar-marketing-portugues/) Do you like the **Viciados Portal**?
