On Christmas Eve, the source code for Grand Theft Auto 5 was reportedly leaked, over a year after the Lapsus$ threat actors hacked Rockstar games and stole corporate data by gaining access to the company's internal Slack server and Confluence wiki.
Links to download the source code were shared on numerous channels, including Discord and a Telegram channel. The channel owner “Phil” also paid homage to Lapsus$ hacker Arion Kurtaj, who previously leaked pre-release videos of Grand Theft Auto 6 under the name 'teapotuberhacker.'
