Rockstar confirmed on Saturday that a few of its knowledge was compromised in a breach of a third-party supplier. The group ShinyHunters claimed accountability, saying it had gained entry to the corporate’s Snowflake situations (a cloud-hosting supplier common with enterprise prospects) by way of Anodot, a cost-monitoring and analytics service. The group is demanding a ransom by April 14th, or it is going to leak the information it has stolen.
In a press release offered to Kotaku, the corporate stated that the compromised knowledge was restricted in scope and “this incident has no influence on our group or our gamers.”
It’s unclear precisely which knowledge was compromised, however it seems the hack focused company knowledge moderately than participant info. It’s potential that monetary information, advertising and marketing knowledge, or contracts with firms like Sony and Microsoft might be included within the haul.
This isn’t the primary time Rockstar has been the sufferer of a high-profile hack. In 2022, an enormous cache of movies from GTA VI have been leaked on-line by Lapsus$.
