Recently, the YouTube channel HazardousHDTV revealed that the Rockstar Games platform (formerly Social Club) has a long-term data abuse vulnerability.Hackers are suspected of bribing platform customer service personnel to gain access to internal management tools, thereby carrying out account hijacking, community tag theft and other actions, ultimately forming a black industry chain.

It is reported that this black market chain was initially triggered by outsourced customer service personnel: they were persuaded or bribed to install malware on the system, thereby bypassing firewalls and two-factor authentication.After that, hackers can reset passwords, change email addresses and dates of birth, implement bans, and even tamper with the leadership authority of the player community.Based on this, a highly profitable black market has formed:

·Rare gang tags reportedly sell for $150–$300;

Access to internal management tools is priced in the tens of thousands of dollars;

·Some hackers can make more than $10,000 per month.

In addition, hackers cleared the member lists of well-known teams (including some anchor teams), and even suspected of hijacking official gangs and demanding ransom.Although some loopholes were later quietly fixed, and Take-Two has frequently prosecuted illegal account traders in recent years, there are still hidden dangers due to the old structure of Social Club.Many players are worried about whether Rockstar can completely solve these problems before the release of "GTA6".
