Hackers stole usernames, hashed passwords, email addresses, IP addresses, and support tickets from Atlas Menu, a cheat service for Grand Theft Auto V. Have I Been Pwned reported that almost 64,000 accounts were part of the breach.
TechCrunch reported the incident the same day. Atlas Menu had claimed to offer “secure authentication and enhanced privacy through our advanced encryption techniques,” according to its official site, which is now down. The hacker who claimed responsibility posted the allegedly stolen data on GitHub.
The hacker’s motivation appeared to be revenge against a scammer. The owners of Atlas Menu could not be reached for comment. Atlas Menu offered features such as “invisibility,” “super jump,” which allowed the player to jump higher than normal, and the ability to fly through the map, according to a video posted on its website.
Game cheats have evolved into a multi-million dollar business. Atlas Menu is not the first cheat service to get hacked. A popular cheat service for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was reportedly breached a few years ago.
