APB Live reports:
A ransomware group known as ShinyHunters has added Rockstar Games to its dark web leak site, threatening to publish or sell stolen data if the gaming giant does not pay up. Rockstar Games has confirmed the breach, linking it to a third-party vendor, and says only a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed.
The company maintains that the incident has no impact on its operations or players. The deadline set by the hackers is April 14, 2026.
According to a report by The Cybersecurity Guy, the attack was not a direct hit on Rockstar Games itself. Instead, hackers targeted a SaaS cloud-cost monitoring tool used by the company.

ShinyHunters is often called a “ransomware group” but has not been using ransomware in recent campaigns, rather it exfiltrates data and demands a ransom to delete it without leaking it.
