# Grand Theft Data – hackers hit Rockstar Games

**[TechCentral](https://daily.dev/sources/techcentral)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen 78.6 million business records from Rockstar Games (maker of Grand Theft Auto) via a third-party breach. The attackers accessed Rockstar's Snowflake data warehouse account by first compromising Anodot, an AI-powered analytics platform. Stolen data reportedly includes in-game revenue metrics, player behavior tracking, and game economy data for GTA Online and Red Dead Online. Rockstar acknowledged a limited breach of non-material company information, while Snowflake clarified its own platform was not compromised. ShinyHunters has a history of targeting major corporations, having been linked to over 160 Snowflake customer breaches in 2024 including Ticketmaster and Santander.
