"Rockstar Games. Your Snowflake instances metrics data was compromised thanks to Anodot.com. Pay or leak. 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."
"A limited amount of non-material company information was accessed via a third-party breach, adding that there's no impact on players or operations."
"If the claims are valid, that means there would have been no clever exploit chain - just valid credentials being used as intended, only by someone who shouldn't have them."
"ShinyHunters has built a reputation on going after APIs, identity systems, and SaaS integrations rather than battering away at hardened perimeters."
ShinyHunters has reportedly compromised Rockstar Games' data, claiming access was gained through Anodot, a cloud cost-monitoring tool. The group issued a warning to Rockstar, demanding payment to prevent a data leak. Rockstar confirmed that a limited amount of non-material information was accessed but stated there was no impact on players or operations. The breach allegedly involved the misuse of authentication tokens, allowing unauthorized access without exploiting vulnerabilities. ShinyHunters is known for targeting APIs and SaaS integrations rather than traditional security perimeters.
