Over 60k GTA V players allegedly exposed in cyber attack on game cheat service

According to HaveIBeenPwned, Atlas Menu, a cheat service for both GTA V and Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), was allegedly hit by cyber criminals in May.

The cheat service offers players extra abilities, including super jumps, flight, invisibility and more, giving users an unfair edge in online lobbies.

The threat actor that claimed responsibility for the breach, which has currently not been publicly named, posted the allegedly stolen data on GitHub, reportedly containing email addresses, usernames, scrambled passwords, support tickets and IP addresses. Almost 64,000 accounts were claimed to have been exposed.

 
 

Based on reports, the hacker performed the incident as an act of revenge against a scammer.

On its website, Atlas Menu markets itself on its security, claiming to offer “secure authentication and enhanced privacy through our advanced encryption techniques”. Currently, the website is inaccessible.

Atlas Menu has yet to comment on the incident.

Cheating services in video games are a growing industry, and with growing industries come threat actors looking to take advantage.

Roughly five years ago, a similar, but unnamed, cheat service used for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) was breached by a threat actor.

Earlier this year, GTA V developer Rockstar Games also confirmed a cyber attack, after infamous hackers ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for a breach of cloud data platform Snowflake.

The hackers listed Rockstar Games as a victim in an 11 April update, alongside several other high-profile companies, including Hallmark Cards, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, and McGraw Hill.

“Your Snowflake instances metrics data was compromised thanks to Anodot.com. Pay or leak,” ShinyHunters said.

“This is a final warning to reach out by 14 Apr 2026 before we leak along with several annoying (digital) problems that’ll come your way. Make the right decision, don’t be the next headline.”
