Who leaked GTA VI? CyberLeek and the 2022 hacker, graded
Two leaks, two different stories. The 2022 hack that put early GTA VI footage online was carried out by Arion Kurtaj of the Lapsus$ group, a jury found, and he now faces a retrial. The 2026 leaks came from an anonymous account called CyberLeek, which used them to sell a memecoin. Take-Two is chasing it through the courts, and nobody has been arrested for it.

Is there a GTA VI beta, demo or early access? No, and here's how the scams work
There is no GTA VI beta, demo or early access. Rockstar sells pre-orders, and pre-loading opens a week before launch. That hasn't stopped scam sites selling 'VIP early access' for cryptocurrency, or fake demo downloads that install password-stealing malware. What's real, what's fake, and how to tell.
