Hacker Group 808 Mafia Breaches Rockstar India, Leaks Internal Files and Claims Theft of GTA VI Build

Hacker group 808 Mafia recently carried out a large-scale cyberattack on Rockstar Games, targeting its India division. The group gained control of the technical director's account at the Rockstar India office through a phishing attack, and used that access to bypass the studio's internal security defenses, stealing a large volume of internal files, financial accounts, and employee personal data. To prove the attack succeeded, 808 Mafia published an official financial document from Rockstar Interactive India LLP, showing an annual enterprise software subscription bill worth US$18,400, and attached a watermark advertising its cryptocurrency token.

In addition, 808 Mafia released an unreleased image from an internal build dated April 2026, as well as a record of an employee browsing adult films during work hours, as further evidence of the breach. This is not the first such attack on Rockstar India; the high-profile GTA 6 leak in 2022 was also linked to a phishing attack on a Rockstar India employee.

Another hacker group, CyberLeek, has previously published extensive GTA 6 gameplay footage and a seemingly complete map, and has claimed it will continue leaking more content. As of now, Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not issued an official response to the incident.
