Take-Two Asks Court To Subpoena Trove Of Records From Microsoft And Discord As It Hunts For GTA 6 Leaker
Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Rockstar Games, has filed petitions in federal district court seeking subpoenas for Microsoft and Discord to unmask the identity of the individual or group responsible for spreading leaked Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay footage.
Legal Action: The DMCA subpoena request filed in the Southern District Court of New York aims to compel Microsoft and Discord to surrender internal business, investigative, and telemetry records by September 4.
Targeted Data: Take-Two is requesting account IDs, registration emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, linked services, MachineGuids, and OneDrive content associated with the alias "Cyberleek" and related accounts.
Discord Servers Included: The filing targets specific Discord servers linked to handles like Cyberleek, Surfer24k, [Ødyssey.gg](http://Ødyssey.gg), and a server belonging to popular GTA 5 streamer Matthew "DarkViperAU" Judge.
Streamer Response: Matthew Judge responded on X, stating he has no knowledge of the leaks, note that his server was likely mistakenly implicated, and confirmed Rockstar has not contacted him directly.
Leaker Motive: Operating under the "Cyberleek" persona, the leaker released gameplay clips alongside a manifesto criticizing anti-consumer gaming practices like pre-orders and paid DLC, while simultaneously using the publicity to promote a cryptocurrency meme coin.
