Overview
- Take‑Two filed DMCA subpoenas on Aug. 20 asking Microsoft and Discord to produce account IDs, registration emails, IP and login logs, device identifiers and OneDrive content to identify users tied to the 'CyberLeek' persona.
- An account calling itself CyberLeek has posted multiple unauthorized GTA 6 clips and map images, with several videos showing gameplay details and one clip that spelled 'LEEK' by shooting holes in a wall, which observers say suggests access to a playable build.
- The leaker is promoting a memecoin tied to voting on future releases, and some published downloads labeled as leaked builds are spreading malware and scams that put curious users at risk.
- Take‑Two’s legal push and rapid takedown requests have removed some CyberLeek hubs, including a website and at least one Telegram channel, but new clips continued circulating as of Aug. 22.
- If identified, the leaker could face criminal charges and jail time, and the incident is likely to sharpen scrutiny of developer security, platform cooperation on subpoenas, and how publishers protect unreleased games ahead of major marketing events.
