The Rockstar / UBER hack
I really was not going to talk about this because it was more about gaming. GTA VI was leaked and I don’t want to give my opinion on the game itself, Seeing that I have been recently learning code and creating 3d models on the Unreal engine. During the Uber hack, I did not really think the hacker compromised anything. He did infiltrate their Slack and the chat went nuts. However, they never said what they got a hold of. Rockstar, on the other hand, leaking the biggest game that has been anticipated since GTA online started being Milked in 2015. GTA Online has been going forward since 2013. That’s 9 years as of the 17th of September (well GTA Online has been out since October but GTA V has been since Sept 17th) the leaker decided to release everything on that date. Honestly… besides the source code of the game, I don’t see why it even hurt Rockstar games. As they didn’t say ANYTHING for 9 years about their game. IMO the leaker did them a favor and Rockstar can come back on it. Uber is doing an investigation but has not found any evidence of intrusion or anything compromised as of late. Rockstar Suffered from 90 videos being posted of GTA 6. I wouldn’t worry too much I would embrace and say much more about the game. Lots of games come out broken with patches anyway. Rockstar could capitalize on this.

Hot on the heels of the Uber hacking incident last week, someone claiming to be the hacker behind it now says Rockstar Games has been hacked. As evidence of this, videos of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) 6, which is still in the early stages of development, have been leaked and published online.
The hacker, using a handle of teapotuberhacker and posting to the GTAForums fan forum, claimed to have gained access to Rockstar Games’ Slack server and also its team-working Confluence wiki. As well as making claims to be the same ‘Tea Pot’ hacker who was behind the Uber incident, the threat actor says they had gained access to both GTA 5 and GTA 6 source code along with other assets. To back this up, a file containing some 90 videos was also uploaded.
