Anonymous Backs GTA 6 Leaker as Crypto Profits and Manhunts Escalate

Hacker CyberLeek continues releasing Grand Theft Auto 6 footage while promoting a personal cryptocurrency token, drawing support from Anonymous and scrutiny over financial motives

Leaks Continue Amid Claims of Consumer Advocacy

A hacker operating under the name CyberLeek has spent recent days releasing unauthorized footage from Grand Theft Auto 6, framing the actions as a stand for consumer rights against digital-only strategies. The material has included detailed gameplay sequences, and additional clips have continued to surface. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has seen its stock affected by the disclosures, with reports of friction surrounding an upcoming exclusive reveal planned with Netflix later this month.

CyberLeek has repeatedly tied the releases to demands for physical media and offline access assurances. At the same time, each new video has featured promotion of a custom cryptocurrency token named $CYBERLEEK along with related paid elements. Community analysis of the associated wallets indicates the operation has generated significant returns through transaction fees rather than direct token sales.

Crypto Token Generates Substantial Returns

According to a detailed examination shared on a major GTA discussion forum, CyberLeek invested approximately $29,000 to launch the $CYBERLEEK token. While the creator does not profit directly from purchases, fees on every trade flow back to the originating wallet. Estimates place first-day fee earnings near $30,000, with several thousand dollars arriving daily afterward. An additional private wallet holding roughly 270 million tokens was valued at about $391,000 at the time of the analysis.

The same review traced the creation wallet to an account on the KuCoin exchange. That platform’s policies allow identity information to be released to law enforcement upon receipt of a valid subpoena. Take-Two has already sought court orders for records from Discord and Microsoft in connection with the spread of the leaked material, raising the possibility that crypto platforms could face similar requests.

The gamers rights messaging was just virtue signaling to gain public support from people who were upset about the loss of physical media. The person behind this leak is making a substantial amount of money.

Amateur Investigations and Anonymous Response

Some online users have attempted to identify CyberLeek independently. One widely circulated post described a 16-hour private investigation whose findings were emailed to legal teams at Take-Two and Rockstar. The effort drew sharp criticism from many in the community, who labeled the activity as unpaid assistance to a large corporation.

The decentralized hacking collective Anonymous issued a public statement addressing these efforts. The group voiced support for CyberLeek and criticized individuals pursuing the leaker.

There is a wave of 'superheroes' trying to hunt down the GTA 6 leaker. Imagine having zero shame doing free detective work for a billion-dollar corporation that couldn't care less about its consumers.

Anonymous has also circulated memes related to the situation and referenced unverified claims that CyberLeek maintains a contingency measure capable of releasing the full game if capture becomes imminent.

Criticism from Consumer Advocates and Internal Impact

Not all advocacy groups have endorsed the approach. The Stop Killing Games campaign, which pursues legal avenues for game preservation rights in the United States and European Union, condemned the use of unauthorized leaks.

Using illegal means to make a point is unacceptable to us and does nothing to protect our right to keep using what we paid for. No matter how strongly you disagree with the decisions of upper management at these companies, there are still thousands of developers who worked hard on this project — and they're the ones being hit the hardest.

Internal reports describe an atmosphere of frustration and exhaustion among Rockstar staff as the unauthorized releases continue. Take-Two is understood to be prioritizing containment ahead of the scheduled Netflix presentation, though the company’s ability to halt further material remains uncertain while the source stays at large.
