Rockstar Games Hacked, Hackers Threaten a Massive Data Leak If Not Paid Ransom
This is just my opinion but that is not much of a threat and I think they should ignore it. Rockstars social platform has always had abhorrent security and players have always been able to easily doxx one another, know where other players live, boot each other out of games to the point of requiring multiple mod-menus just to be in a multi-player lobby in my experience thus extortion of money for player data from snowflake is just redundant.

- The_SamminAter 7mo agoThe actual case is that GTA Online sessions are P2P. As such, when connected to a session, your IP is exposed to the other players. This doesn’t really qualify as a ‘doxx,’ as that in and of itself is not particularly PII. Furthermore, playing without a menu is possible and has been for years. It just helps to boot yourself into a new/empty session every once in a while.
- shaewest 7mo agoFrom what I recall, while the sessions are P2P, they've implemented proxies between players to prevent the old problem of IPs being exposed.
