In the long wait for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, an open-world game about crime, some in the gaming community are being targeted by cybercriminals in the real world.
Fans are still waiting for the game more than a decade after the release of GTA 5, which sold more copies than any game ever, except for Minecraft. Now, after multiple GTA 6 delays and with some fans desperate for any scrap of news, hackers are using the cover as a perfect opportunity to target eager gamers.
After multiple delays, GTA 6 is expected to release on November 19, 2026. On Thursday, Netflix will air an extended look at the game, which could perhaps answer some questions about the legitimacy of various leaks.
A relevant reminder as always: Don’t download stuff if you aren’t sure it comes from a reliable source.
