Source Sourcing FAQs

Why do we rank leak sources instead of just reporting rumors?

Most false GTA 6 rumors originate from anonymous social media accounts seeking viral engagement. Evaluating the historical track record of named sources protects visitors from fabricated clickbait.

Who leaked the original 90 GTA 6 videos in September 2022?

The September 2022 breach was conducted by 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj (associated with the Lapsus$ hacking group) who compromised Rockstar's internal Slack server. He was convicted and sentenced in December 2023.
