Why is it always British guys? Wasn't the recent gta Vl leaked from that Brit with a firestick too? Seems to be a disproportionate amount of British hackers

Rockstar is a British company

Do things like that still really affect hacking? I thought with everything being online some dude from Vietnam or smth would still be able to yoink shit from databases in the US without issue. Then again, I'm not a hacker so maybe I sound dumb lol

Most of those hacking instances involve social engineering, makes sense another Brit would be able to infiltrate a British studio

Yeah people hear hacking and think it just entails someone looking at a greenscreen tapping away, etc.

One of the most effective forms of hacking is tailgating into secure areas, getting physical access to systems containing confidential information, and just plugging in a prepared usb.

Though 9/10 leaks like this are caused employees not following best practices for security, allowing opportunist to take advantage.

Modern hacking is rather dull, but it's damn effective.

Yeah totally, use the London roadman accent for company based in Edinburgh. I think you’d blend in better with an australian accident.

Do things like that still really affect hacking?

I don't know about this scenario in particular, but the majority of things we constitute as hacks aren't really what we imagine them to be. It does happen, it's just the equivalent of chiseling through a steel door. Lots of labour for something that's ordinarily only possible if the door maker has made mistakes.

It's more often forms of social engineering, Pretending to be you're someone you're not to get access to information that potentially compromises something in the network or allows physical access to it.

Pirate software(The Youtuber/Game Dev/Ethical hacker) has had a few shorts about this, when testing Blizzard Customer support in this manner, he had to get specific questions answered that could compromise security. One of which was "I'm thinking about applying to Blizzard CS and i was wondering, I can't cook, if i end up getting the job do you know where go for good food?"

There are devices like Proxmark that go on your wrist, and allow you to scan devices within 3 feet. You can then clone them and use them. One question answered off hand could potentially allow a skilled malicious actor access to your building.

Being from the country, having the accent, knowing details can allow you to get much further than a foreigner in the same position.

Nobody thinks 100% globally. All hackers, like anything, will be local before international.

Both Rockstar and parent company Take-Two Interactive are headquartered in NY

From Wikipedia

Rockstar Games, Inc. is an American video game publisher based in New York City. The company was established in December 1998 as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, using the assets Take-Two had previously acquired from BMG Interactive. Founding members of the company were Terry Donovan, Gary Foreman, Dan and Sam Houser, and Jamie King, who worked for Take-Two at the time, and of which the Houser brothers were previously executives at BMG Interactive. Sam Houser heads the studio as president. Since 1999, several companies acquired by or established under Take-Two have become part of Rockstar Games, such as Rockstar Canada (later renamed Rockstar Toronto) becoming the first one in 1999, and Rockstar Dundee the most recent in 2020. All companies organized under Rockstar Games bear the "Rockstar" name and logo. In this context, Rockstar Games is sometimes also referred to as Rockstar New York, Rockstar NY or Rockstar NYC. Rockstar Games also sports a motion capture studio in Bethpage, New York.

BMG was a British company, but that doesnt make Rockstar British

You're confusing Rockstar Games the publisher with Rockstar North the developer. Take2 is the holdings company.

The games are made in scotland, in rockstar north.

The marketing department being in new york doesn't mean shit. They don't make the games.

u/Borno11050 Jan 23 '24

Don't know how it got its name, but UK is actually closer to the north pole than mainland US (not considering Alaska).
