GTA 6 leaks

looks like the leak came from their internal slack
That's what i read also. Someone called a Rockstar Dev from 'IT' and asked if he received a 2FA notification and likely said some nonsense about security to reset everyone's passed and the Dev allowed it and possibly even gave them the code.

Pretty common social engineering tactic that. Us humans are often the weakest link in corporate security.
 
Pretty stupid really, there is never any reason to give your password or authentication codes to anyone, and doing so should be grounds for instant dismissal that's how serious it should be. Any IT department can access and reset anyone's password, they don't need you to tell them your password.

I anticipate the employee involved is now fired and will find it difficult to work in game development again

Many employees at large companies don't fully understand how 2FA works and how easily it can be exploited.

Most people are trusting and don't want to rock the boat, that's how social engineering works. They receive a call from someone they think is 'IT' and they want to help and be a good person.

Social engineering exploits most people's natural instinct to want to help and be a good person, not realising that challenging a request for a code that they don't fully understand could stop the attack.

It's an education issue, and I blame that on the company under attack, not the employee that got socially engineered.

Biggest disappointment is that it’s another modern day American setting. Lost opportunity to do something a bit more interesting, especially given how long it’s been since GTA5 was released.

Some talk that it might have more than one location. Map is supposedly around 3x the size of GTA V's map although not sure if that counts as all different locations added together.

If they wanted to make a big map do California or something.
