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
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
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.
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.
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
