Take-Two is using new legal requests to identify accounts that distributed or profited from leaked GTA VI material. The publisher is now seeking user data from X and Google, even as it remains unclear whether the targeted profiles had any direct connection to the original leakers.

The company had already approached Microsoft and Discord while attempting to trace the group known as CyberLeek. The latest DMCA subpoena requests mention a deleted X account and several YouTube channels operating under names connected to the leaked material.

The legal measures are designed to identify the people behind those profiles. They do not by themselves prove that the accounts participated in the original theft or disclosure; they show that Take-Two wants information about their activities and possible relationships.

Impersonators and opportunists could be caught in the net

The situation is complicated by claims that the genuine CyberLeek group communicates through its own websites and does not maintain an official X account. The attention surrounding the leak may therefore have attracted impersonators, republishers and users attempting to turn the chaos around Rockstar into traffic or money.

That means the publisher’s wide legal net may not reach only the original source. People who did not obtain the material first could still face serious consequences if they redistributed it, monetised it or used it to build an audience around themselves.

The requests also demonstrate how many resources Take-Two is willing to deploy while the identity of the actual leakers remains unresolved. The next stage of the investigation may depend on what information the technology companies provide and whether those records lead back to the original network.
