A hacker has allegedly demanded cryptocurrency payment in connection with the GTA 6 breach, according to reporting from Finbold. The demand reportedly must be paid just to establish initial contact with the individual claiming responsibility for the incident.
Details about the specific amount or cryptocurrency type were not disclosed in available reports. This development comes amid ongoing concerns about the security incident that affected the highly anticipated title.
The situation underscores the serious nature of the breach and the lengths to which the responsible party is willing to go. Rockstar Games has not yet released an official statement addressing this latest demand.
For players counting down to launch, this incident highlights the company’s focus on addressing security vulnerabilities before the game reaches players’ hands.
