That fake Grand Theft Auto VI demo is actually just malware
Grand Theft Auto fans, eager for news about one of the most anticipated video games of all time, appear especially vulnerable to this new cyberattack.
In the long wait for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, an open-world game about crime, some in the gaming community are being targeted by cybercriminals in the real world.
Fans are still waiting for the game more than a decade after the release of GTA 5, which sold more copies than any game ever, except for Minecraft. Now, after multiple GTA 6 delays and with some fans desperate for any scrap of news, hackers are using the cover as a perfect opportunity to target eager gamers.
After multiple delays, GTA 6 is expected to release on November 19, 2026. On Thursday, Netflix will air an extended look at the game, which could perhaps answer some questions about the legitimacy of various leaks.
A relevant reminder as always: Don’t download stuff if you aren’t sure it comes from a reliable source.
Don’t miss out . The startup community will gather to answer a pivotal question: How do you build sustainably in the AI era?
