Take-Two's legal action to find GTA 6 leaker begins, as it subpoenas Microsoft and Discord for any data "sufficient to identify the users person"

The pursuit of the GTA 6 leaker intensifies as Take-Two has initiated legal proceedings against Microsoft and Discord to uncover any data that could expose the identity of the individual responsible for leaking GTA 6 gameplay videos online. A series of subpoenas were filed with the Southern District Court of New York on August 20th, according to Kotaku.

The subpoena includes a sworn declaration from Take-Two, confirming that its objective is to obtain the identity of the alleged infringer(s) and that the information will only be used to protect their rights. Microsoft and Discord have until September 4th to provide all relevant information pertaining to the CyberLeek persona, which has claimed responsibility for the GTA 6 leaks.

Take-Two seeks specific details from Microsoft, including account IDs, registration emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, and linked Xbox and Google accounts. Discord is requested to provide all user accounts that were members communicating with their servers, including CyberLeek, CinematicRockstar, Surfer24K, Odyssey, and DarkViperAU.

The leaks have been ongoing for three days, with a seventh video leaked featuring co-protagonist Jason driving a supercar through Vice City. CyberLeek claims they are doing this for gamers' rights, but their actions are allegedly tied to a cryptocurrency scheme involving a $CYBERLEEK meme coin. The group allegedly wants people to buy the coin to vote on new leaks, with some evidence suggesting personal gain.
