GTA 6 spoiler “Cyberleek” currently has a five-star wanted level, and the game’s publisher, Take-Two Interactive, is now beginning the legal process to take him down.
On Thursday, Take-Two Interactive issued subpoenas in federal court to Discord and Microsoft, hoping to obtain information about Cyberleek.
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Take-Two is trying to identify Cyberleek through platforms like Discord and GitHub, while examining his possible connections to services such as OneDrive, Google, and Xbox accounts.
According to reports, Take-Two believes it has identified several Discord handles for Cyberleek e.g., CYBERLEEK, CINEMATICROCKSTAR) and servers (e.g., Ødyssey.gg) where he was conducting his operation.
The Subpoena to Discord Reads:
All identifying information associated with all user accounts that are/were members of the Discord community servers and channels listed below during the time period from June 1, 2026 to present. For each returned account, provide the following: backend server metadata or telemetry records, original message logs, IP access logs, email addresses, phone numbers, connected accounts, registration timestamps, linked connections (Google/Xbox/etc.), and any associated device identifiers (MachineGuid/MSA).
The Subpoena for Microsoft, Which Owns Github and Xbox Reads:
All internal Microsoft business records and investigative records associated with Microsoft’s internal investigation of the “cyberleek” persona sufficient to identify the user(s), person(s) and/or entity/ies associated with that persona.
All identifying information associated with all user accounts that are/were members communicating with the Discord server(s) listed below during the time period from June 1, 2026 to present; and for those accounts, provide any associated device/telemetry records where one or more of the tool/file artifacts below were present on the system. For each returned account, provide: the account ID, registration email, registration and last-login IP addresses, phone number, linked connections (Google/Xbox/etc.), any associated device identifiers (MachineGuid/MSA), and content related to Grand Theft Auto (“GTA”), Rockstar or Cyberleek from their OneDrive account.
Both companies have until Sept.4 at 10 a.m. EDT, according to the subpoenas per Kotaku’s reporting.
Cyberleek is leaking various clips of GTA 6 ahead of Rockstar Games’ big gameplay reveal exclusively on Netflix on August 27. The streamer will have exclusivity for 6 hours before it heads to YouTube.
Take-Two has been working at breakneck speeds to takedown clips of the game online but Cyberleek has been making life hard for the video game developer.
Cyberleek claims he is ruining sh*t for everyone because Rockstar Games is doing a digital-only release of the game.
He is also promoting a shady cryptocurrency that has allegedly generated $30,000 in trading fees within 24 hours, according to Polygon.
Whatever his intentions are, leaking games that developers worked tirelessly on is never cool.
