  "account": "Take-Two's legal battle against the source of GTA 6 leaks has apparently resulted in the first major blow: the CyberLeek website has shut down. The group's Telegram channel has also gone dark, displaying a copyright infringement message. This comes after Take-Two filed subpoenas to Microsoft and Discord, requesting data that could identify the person behind the CyberLeek persona. Both companies have until September 4th to provide the requested information. The leaks, which show co-protagonist Jason driving and shooting in Vice City, suggest possible playable access to the game. CyberLeek claims to be promoting gamers' rights, but is allegedly involved in a cryptocurrency scheme involving a $CYBERLEEK meme coin. There is confusion about the legitimacy of the Telegram channel and website, with some claiming it was never operated by CyberLeek. It remains uncertain whether this takedown marks the end of the leaks, or merely a pause for the perpetrators to regroup. GTA 6, set to release on November 19th, 2026, has already become a top seller on the PlayStation Store.",
