Although Take-Two appears to have banned Cyberleek's official website and moved to take it down, the hacker group has still released the seventh wave of gameplay leaks for Grand Theft Auto VI.
The GTA 6 leak that erupted this week is one of the most impactful breaches in the history of the gaming industry. After all, Rockstar and Take-Two have maintained extremely strict confidentiality around GTA 6 for years. They had just announced a first look at gameplay footage for August 27, but the initial wave of leaks early this week completely disrupted their marketing schedule.
In the early stages of the incident, some questioned the authenticity of the gameplay footage, but five days later, the facts are undeniable—the hacker group Cyberleek indeed possesses a development build of the game. Take-Two has been actively taking measures to contain the leaks, including banning the group's website, which initially seemed effective until a new wave of leaks emerged yesterday.
Over the past day or so, the Cyberleek incident has taken several intriguing turns. The group went silent for over 24 hours, leading to widespread rumors that they had been caught. However, the release of the sixth wave of leaks yesterday shattered this speculation. Meanwhile, court records indicate that Take-Two is attempting to subpoena information to uncover Cyberleek's true identity.
Recently, Cyberleek's official website appeared to be shut down by Take-Two, with links displaying a ban notice starting with "T2." In reality, the site was not completely removed; it seems to have adopted a "decentralized" deployment strategy, making it inaccessible to most ordinary users. The release of the seventh wave of leaks yesterday confirmed this.
Despite official takedown notices being issued across the board, the content quickly spread on major social media platforms. In the video, Jason drives through the city in the same "supercar" seen yesterday and carries out a gas station robbery. There are other details in the clip, but given that the situation is still developing, we won't elaborate on them here.
It appears that although Take-Two raised the barrier for ordinary users to access Cyberleek's leaked content, they failed to solve the problem entirely. It remains unclear how much game content the group possesses, and it is uncertain how far this leak scandal will escalate. However, one thing is certain: these leaked videos will not disappear from the internet anytime soon.
