In a massive legal move, Take-Two is seeking court-ordered information from Microsoft and Discord to unmask the individual behind the recent GTA 6 gameplay leaks.

  • Take-Two issued subpoenas in New York Southern District Court targeting 'CyberLeek'.
  • Requests include Discord user data and Microsoft OneDrive records.
  • Leaks are being linked to cryptocurrency promotions and memecoins.

The gaming industry is currently reeling from a series of unprecedented leaks surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). In response, Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has escalated its legal battle by filing multiple subpoenas in federal court, specifically targeting Microsoft and Discord.

The legal maneuver, filed in the New York Southern District Court under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), aims to identify the perpetrator(s) behind the 'CyberLeek' account. This account has been the primary source of high-profile gameplay footage that has flooded the internet over the past week.

The Scope of the Investigation

The subpoenas are remarkably broad. Take-Two is requesting identifying information for all users associated with specific Discord servers, including one belonging to prominent content creator DarkViperAU. Furthermore, the company is seeking internal investigative records from Microsoft and any content related to Rockstar or 'CyberLeek' stored within users' OneDrive accounts.

The scale of this subpoena suggests that Take-Two is not just looking for a single user, but a coordinated network of leakers.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this case represents a critical turning point for intellectual property enforcement in the digital age. As gaming assets become increasingly valuable, the ability of corporations to pierce the veil of anonymity provided by platforms like Discord and Microsoft becomes a central battleground for digital rights management.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the leaks are not just unauthorized sharing, but appear to be part of a monetization scheme. Recent videos have featured watermarks promoting memecoins, which some analysts have traced to cryptocurrency exchanges in the Seychelles. This adds a layer of financial crime to the existing copyright infringement issue.
