GTA 6 Leak Turns Bizarre as Hacker Profits from Memecoin Scheme
The Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) leak has taken an unexpected turn as the hacker, operating under the alias CYBERLEEK, appears to be profiting from the chaos. Reports indicate that a memecoin created by the hackers was traded for $11.8 million in a single 24-hour window following the leak.
The hacker claimed to be fighting against greedy corporate practices, but their actions suggest otherwise. The leaked GTA 6 footage contained embedded crypto links and QR codes, directing viewers to the memecoin. This has led to widespread accusations that the hacking event was an illegal advertisement for a cryptocurrency scheme.
Stop Killing Games, a prominent consumer advocacy movement, has released a statement condemning the leaks as destructive and illegal. The organization urges players not to fall for the scam, emphasizing that damaging developer morale right before Rockstar's planned official previews hurts no one.
