Take-Two Seeks Information From Microsoft and Discord in Hunt for GTA 6 Leaker, Files Multiple Subpoenas in Federal Court
Take-Two has issued multiple subpoenas in a federal court requesting information from both Microsoft and Discord as it hunts the leaker or leakers behind the recent spate of GTA 6 gameplay videos.
Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has issued subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord as it seeks to identify the leaker behind recent GTA 6 gameplay video releases. The subpoenas, filed in a federal court on August 20, are part of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) request. The focus is on the 'CyberLeek' account, believed to be responsible for the leaks.
The subpoena demands identifying information from all users in certain Discord servers, as well as internal records from Microsoft's investigation into 'CyberLeek.' It also requests any related content from the Discord members' OneDrive accounts. One of the mentioned Discord servers belongs to Australian content creator Matthew "DarkViperAU" Judge.
The leaks include various GTA, Rockstar, and CyberLeek content, such as audio-visual material, artwork, and dialogue. Take-Two's legal team has sworn to use the subpoenaed information solely for the purpose of protecting the company's rights. The leaked videos continue to emerge, with a fourth one released on August 21 featuring supercar gameplay.
The latest video's watermark reads: "HIGHER MARKET CAP = MORE LEEKS." As of now, neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has commented on the ongoing situation.
