Take-Two Targets Microsoft and Discord in Federal Subpoenas Over GTA 6 Leaks
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Take-Two has filed federal subpoenas against Microsoft and Discord to track down the source of recent GTA 6 leaks, which have been tied to memecoin promotions and ongoing security breaches.
As reported by IGN, Take-Two Interactive has filed multiple federal subpoenas in the New York Southern District Court targeting Microsoft and Discord. The publisher is using Digital Millennium Copyright Act requests to track down the source of the recent GTA 6 gameplay leaks tied to an account known as CyberLeek. The legal filings demand identifying information from specific Discord servers, internal Microsoft investigative records, and relevant content stored on linked OneDrive accounts.
The investigation highlights the intersection of modern security breaches and digital asset speculation. The leaked footage has persistently featured promotional ties to a specific memecoin, prompting independent digital forensics work from community members to trace the cryptocurrency back to a Seychelles-based exchange. These new clips continue to circulate across social platforms despite the lack of official statements from Rockstar Games or Take-Two, arriving just ahead of a scheduled promotional showcase.
For players and creators, the situation underlines the complex security challenges facing major multi-platform releases today. Content creators like Matthew Judge, known online as DarkViperAU, have found their community spaces caught up in the federal sweep as publishers pull out all the stops to protect their intellectual property. As the countdown to the next official game preview continues, the community remains caught between high anticipation for the title and the chaotic fallout of ongoing security leaks.
