GTA 6 Leaks: Take-Two Loses USD 3 Billion After Cyberleek Footage and Crypto Trail Emerge, Say Reports
Take-Two Interactive lost nearly USD 3 billion in market value following GTA 6 leaks linked to Cyberleek. Digital forensics reportedly traced the group’s crypto operation to a KuCoin account, with the memecoin generating thousands in daily fees. A separate, unverified phishing claim involving Rockstar data has also emerged.
Take-Two Interactive has lost nearly three billion dollars in market value following a series of apparent Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks. Shares fell sharply after footage suggesting access to a playable build circulated online, though the stock later recovered some ground. The material has been released under the name Cyberleek alongside promotion of a related cryptocurrency token.
A detailed digital forensics analysis by a GTAForums user known as Vice Cit has traced the funding and operations behind the leaks. According to a report by IGN, the wallets connected to the Cyberleek website, uploads and memecoin lead back to a KuCoin exchange account that requires identity verification. Authorities could potentially identify the operator through a subpoena of those records. GTA 6 Leaks: Cyberleek Arrested by FBI? Unverified Reports and Crypto Wallet Trail Emerge Amid Game Map Leaks.
GTA 6Â More Leaks About Xbox Series X Graphics
ANOTHER major GTA 6 leak has surfaced.
A leaked Xbox Series X graphics capture reportedly contains a significant amount of GTA 6 data, including models and map-related information.
The leak appears to have originated from a phishing attack targeting a Rockstar Games employee.

Cyberleek Crypto Scheme and Daily Fee Estimates
Vice Cit estimates the operation cost around 29,000 dollars to set up and recovered that sum on the first day. Trading fees from the token have generated between 40,000 and 60,000 dollars, with daily volume of about 2.1 million dollars translating to roughly 4,400 dollars in fees each day the activity continues. The gradual release of clips and paid token-based polls appear designed to sustain interest and trading volume rather than deliver a single large dump of material.
The investigator described the consumer-rights messaging around physical discs and offline access as a means of gaining public support while prioritising financial returns.
Second GTA 6 Leak Linked to Phishing Claim
Separately, another group has claimed access to internal Rockstar material through a phishing attack on a company employee. An Xbox Series X graphics capture is said to contain models and map-related data. The claim remains unverified and appears distinct from the Cyberleek releases.
Background on Ongoing Leaks and Market Impact
Rockstar and Take-Two have not issued public comments. An official extended look is scheduled for Netflix on 27 August. Security firms have also warned that malware disguised as playable GTA 6 builds is circulating on piracy sites, exploiting fan interest in the leaks. GTA 6 Leaks Linked to India?
