Rockstar Games data hack won't affect players

Players' information isn't thought to be at risk, with Rockstar Games stating the recent data breach will have no effect. The company said on Saturday that its corporate data got accessed by ShinyHunters via a third-party provider's online hosting service. ShinyHunters, which entered Rockstar's Snowflake systems using Anodot, demands payment by April 14th and threatens to release the captured files.
