Atlas Menu, a cheat service for Grand Theft Auto V, has been hacked, leading to a data breach affecting nearly 64,000 accounts, according to data breach notification website Have I Been Pwned. The compromised data reportedly includes users’ email addresses, usernames, scrambled passwords, IP addresses, and support tickets.
Atlas Menu, which claimed to provide “secure authentication and enhanced privacy through our advanced encryption techniques,” has seen its official website go offline following the breach. The hacker responsible for the incident has posted the stolen data on GitHub, with motives suggested to be linked to revenge against a scammer.
The owners of Atlas Menu could not be reached for comment on the incident. The breach raises concerns for users who sought to utilize cheats for competitive advantage within the game.
Features advertised by Atlas Menu included enhancements such as “invisibility,” “super jump,” and the ability to fly through the game map. The game cheating market has reportedly expanded into a multimillion-dollar industry, appealing to professional gamers looking for an edge.
This is not the first instance of a cheat service being breached. A widely used service for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive experienced a similar hack several years ago, highlighting ongoing security vulnerabilities in the cheat market.
