Take-Two’s Rockstar hacked for second time in three years, BBC reports

Over the weekend, Take-Two’s (TTWO) Rockstar Games, developer of the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise, confirmed it has targeted by hackers for the second time in three years, BBC’s Liv McMahon and Joe Tidy report. The hackers who claimed responsibility for the breach said they gained access to Rockstar servers managed by a third-party cloud provider and threatened to publish stolen material online unless the company paid a ransom, the authors say, noting that Rockstar downplayed the attack, saying “this incident has no impact on our organisation or our players.” “We can confirm that a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed in connection with a third-party data breach,” a Rockstar Games spokesperson said.
