EVENT DOSSIER
TechCrunch reported on August 25, 2026, that the leaked demo video for Grand Theft Auto VI on the internet was confirmed to be not an official release, but a malicious software disguised as game promotional material. The report stated that this fake demo was intended to trick users into clicking to spread viruses or steal data, reminding players and the public to be cautious of such phishing attempts. No official confirmation of the source or scale of the attack has been provided yet, but security agencies have advised users not to download game materials from unknown links.
黑客利用《侠盗猎车手 VI》发布前的等待期，创建假冒 Rockstar 官网的钓鱼网站分发恶意软件。该恶意软件伪装成游戏演示安装包，实为信息窃取工具，旨在获取受害者的密码、Cookie 及浏览器登录会话，甚至可绕过多因素认证进行账号接管。网络安全公司 Malwarebytes 确认了此类攻击的存在。尽管《侠盗猎车手 VI》多次延期，预计于 2026 年 11 月 19 日发布，但官方从未提供过任何可玩的演示版本。
