The hacking group Cyberleek has published new gameplay footage reportedly from Grand Theft Auto 6. The latest leaks feature scenes where a character pilots an aircraft over Vice City, culminating in a display of the game's radio interface. Notably, the video concludes with the letters "LEEK" being shot onto a wall, strongly implying that the hacking group has obtained a playable version of the game.

Previous leaks attributed to Cyberleek have raised concerns for the game's developer, Rockstar Games. While Cyberleek claims to act in defense of consumer rights, their motives are suspected to be linked to promoting their own cryptocurrency, $CYBERLEEK. The timing of these leaks and the group's activities suggest a coordinated effort to increase the cryptocurrency's visibility.

Prior to the widespread dissemination of this gameplay material in mid-August, the $CYBERLEEK cryptocurrency had already begun its "pre-heating" phase. Since the gameplay leaks began appearing, the cryptocurrency has experienced a notable surge in value, reaching a market capitalization of up to $12 million. This situation brings to light critical issues regarding data security within the gaming industry and the potential for commercial exploitation of leaked content.

Rockstar Games has not issued an official statement regarding the recent leaks or Cyberleek's claims. However, cybersecurity experts in the gaming sector have voiced apprehensions that such leaks could jeopardize the game's development pipeline and its upcoming release.
