AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Anonymous group known as Cyberleek, responsible for leaking unreleased Grand Theft Auto VI footage, has opened a public contact page and begun charging advertisers a fee of 400 Monero—about $165,000—to place ads on future leaks. The leaker says the payment guarantees a response within 24 hours and that ad content may include gambling, adult material or custom gameplay clips. Cyberleek frames the model as “community support and strategic partnerships” rather than a ransom, and directs negotiations to the encrypted messenger Session. The move follows recent subpoenas from Take‑Two Interactive demanding Microsoft and Discord provide data that could identify the source of the leaks. Cyberleek’s website warns that deals are finalized privately and that the fee is a “contact fee.” for interested advertisers worldwide.
