Data of 64,000 GTA cheat users leaked after Atlas Menu hack

The cheat service Atlas Menu suffered a data breach in May, exposing 64,000 users' email addresses, usernames, IP addresses, encrypted passwords, and support tickets, which were published on GitHub by the attacker. The breach also included banned user records, software license keys, and Rockstar Games-linked account identifiers, raising concerns about scams and account takeovers for affected individuals.
A popular cheat service for *Grand Theft Auto Online*, Atlas Menu, was hacked in May, compromising data for over 64,000 users. The breach exposed email addresses, usernames, IP addresses, encrypted passwords, and support tickets, which the attacker published on GitHub alongside internal administrative data, banned user records, and Rockstar Games-linked account identifiers. The attacker claimed access to all Atlas systems before extracting customer records, software license keys, and support conversations. Despite Atlas Menu previously advertising secure authentication and privacy protections, cybersecurity researchers warn that exposed support tickets and purchase histories could leave users vulnerable to scams or account takeovers. This incident follows a separate security claim against Rockstar Games by the hacking group ShinyHunters, who allegedly accessed systems via a third-party analytics platform. The breach highlights ongoing risks for high-profile gaming services, particularly as *Grand Theft Auto VI* approaches release, with development costs estimated near $2 billion. Atlas Menu’s popularity and the lucrative cheat market made it a prime target, though this appears to be the largest breach in its history. Users on Reddit have previously reported smaller security issues with the service, but this leak is significantly more extensive. Affected individuals are advised to monitor their accounts for suspicious activity and consider changing passwords. Rockstar Games has not yet issued an official statement regarding the breach or its potential impact on *GTA Online* players.
