# Rockstar Games confirms third-party breach hit company data

**[The Register](https://daily.dev/sources/theregister)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

ShinyHunters has claimed responsibility for a data breach at Rockstar Games, alleging they accessed Snowflake metrics data through Anodot, a third-party cloud cost-monitoring tool connected to Rockstar's data warehouse. The group claims authentication tokens were stolen and reused to impersonate legitimate internal services. Rockstar confirmed a limited amount of non-material company information was accessed via a third-party breach, with no impact on players or operations. ShinyHunters issued a 'pay or leak' ultimatum with a deadline of April 14, 2026. The group has a history of targeting SaaS integrations and identity systems, with recent victims including Cisco and Telus.
