Overview
- ShinyHunters, which set a ransom deadline for Tuesday, released the stolen files Monday from its dark‑web site after Rockstar declined to pay.
- The published trove is mostly internal metrics and revenue reports for GTA Online and Red Dead Online, and reporting indicates no GTA 6 source code or player personal data were exposed.
- Figures verified by multiple outlets point to GTA Online earning about $1.3 million per day over recent months, with annualized estimates near $500 million.
- Following Tuesday morning’s coverage of the numbers, Take‑Two’s share price jumped to roughly $206, adding about $1 billion in market value as investors digested the scale of recurring revenue.
- ShinyHunters say they reached Rockstar’s Snowflake data through an Anodot analytics integration using stolen access tokens, underscoring risks from third‑party cloud tools even as Rockstar maintains GTA 6’s November 19, 2026 launch timeline is unchanged.
