I gave up battling a DMCA strike that Rockstar Games decided to flag against me on Twitter after using a picture of a leaked GTA 6 footage out of fair use as THERE WERE NOT a trace of the leaked footage at all at GGs.

Regardless of my public rants, I now got a hold on the 2K Games official site (and as Rockstar Games, a member of parent company Take-Two Interactive) and it is a sad development.

With a high chance of a phishing campaign using the likeness of 2K logos, 2K Games had found out that the hackers responsible for the Take-Two Interactive intrusion of late September, were able to see and get users' email addresses, gamertags and console details.

While no financial information was taken, 2K believes that the parsed data is being sold on the Dark Web.

2K has been emailing users affected by the hack, which itself saw emails sent from its official support section that contained malicious links asking for personal information. The publisher immediately shut down its support website and asked users not to open these emails but, as they were from the official account and not just a spoof account spending fake emails, some users did.

The company warned users to "look out for suspicious activity across your accounts and be vigilant for unauthorized third parties trying to leverage the incident to harm you" and that includes to change your password and update every password manager that has your 2K account, regardless if you are a console user which, are likely to be less impacted than PC gamers.
