source code leak GTA 5 This is yet another catastrophic event for Rockstar Games, a studio that has been a prime target for hackers since last year. As time goes on, we learn more about the unfortunate event, including how the files got onto the Internet.
When cybercriminals extract confidential information from a company, they usually demand huge payments to prevent the data from becoming public. However, with the source code GTA 5 something very strange would happen.
Based on screenshots of private messages that occurred on Telegram (via Insider Games), a hacker who extracted the source code from GTA 5 He did intend to make money from his activities, but not directly from Rockstar Games.
Instead of going to the studio, He chose to sell it to the community modders. That is, a group of people unofficially developing modifications for the game. For them, the game’s source code is a goldmine.
Presumably this community only paid 2000 US dollars by code GTA 5. Considering the type of information they were receiving, it was a deal of a lifetime.
But the matter did not end there. A member of this community known as Kieron or TMP received the code without contributing to the purchase. Subsequently He tried to resell it behind the backs of his colleagues.. Its price: $6,000.
Code GTA 5 it was leaked due to hysteria
What Kieron didn’t take into account was that no one would be interested in paying that amount. After all, on modders They don’t have enough money. The above began to get desperate and eventually set the price significantly lower than the original: from 200 to 500 dollars. Any amount was a profit for him, since he received it for free.
Unfortunately for him, even for such a low price he did not find a buyer. Kiron determined that if he couldn’t profit from the source code GTA 5then no one else will do it. He then published all the files. We know that once a leak starts spreading online, it can’t be stopped. Many users were interested in downloading files without any programming knowledge. Just out of simple curiosity…
While this story is starting to gain traction, it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. Until Rockstar files a lawsuit, authorities will not be able to conduct an appropriate investigation. Therefore, we are unlikely to know what really happened.
We are waiting for an official statement from Rockstar Games. Not just to confirm source code leaks GTA 5, but also know what your next step will be. This data ended up in the wrong hands, could be spoiled, for example, GTA Onlinemultiplayer aspect Grand Theft Auto 5.
We feel that Rockstar Games will not allow its largest source of income to date to be destroyed by a source code leak. Rest assured that Take-Two Interactive’s legal team is reviewing every possible way to combat this.
