New Attack on Rockstar Could Expose Game Info… (Watch) #gta6](https://youtu.be/3ZmBbI4RTWA) According to new information released by the **GTABase** profile, the hacker group set the ransom at **$200,000 (about 1 million reais)**. The demand came with a final warning, confirming that **Rockstar**’s **Snowflake** instances were compromised via the **Anodot** artificial intelligence platform.

Reports indicate that the leak may be between **1.5 and 5 terabytes (TB)** in size.

What’s inside 5 terabytes of data? As **GTABase** itself pointed out, this volume of files is far too large to be merely “metrics data” or performance reports, as **Rockstar**had initially downplayed. The biggest concern right now is employee privacy. A leak of this magnitude could include thousands of individual employment contracts, employee bank details, **GTA 6** music licensing agreements, and confidential budgets. Furthermore, given the absurd size of the files, there is a chance the leak includes technical details related to**Grand Theft Auto VI**, which would be catastrophic for **Rockstar Games**. The gravity of the situation was confirmed by **VideoTech**, another well-known insider in the community. He confirmed he has already seen "evidence" of the hack and the ultimatum circulating behind the scenes. *"Deeply concerning if true. Clearly they (**Rockstar**) didn’t pay*,*"* the insider commented on his **X** account (formerly **Twitter**). In short, if **ShinyHunters**really do have **5TB**of sensitive data and follow through on their threat, the internal damage to the morale of the **GTA 6** team could be severe. **See also:**[GTA 6 | With no deal, hackers prepare massive leak of Rockstar Games information](https://viciados.net/gta-6-hackers-divulgacao-informacoes-rockstar-games/) Do you like the **Viciados Portal**?
