For example, this employee leaked the GTA VI trailer, which had not yet been released at that time, so Rockstar had to release the official video 12 hours ahead of schedule. We became interested in the systematic nature of the leaks after a video from the PlayStation State of Play presentation was made public even before the premiere. Then Google sounded the alarm about the level of employee access to commercial materials.
The employee who leaked the video was identified thanks to a screenshot of the trailer for the new Nintendo game Yoshi’s Crafted World. The video was published on Reddit on the eve of the E3 exhibition where the game will be introduced. The photo also included the URL of the YouTube administrative area.
Each leak appears to involve the same person. Google acknowledged these incidents and declared them resolved.
