CTOnews.com September 21 news, Rockstar Games in the development of the "GTA 6" beta game video was leaked to the Internet by hackers last weekend, causing a sensation. Today, 2K, which belongs to the parent company Take Two with Planet R, also issued a statement saying it had been attacked by hackers.

2K said its official support site (support.2k.com) had been hacked, warned users to watch out for phishing emails and shut down the support site for maintenance.

2K tweeted: "Earlier today, we became aware that an unauthorized third party illegally accessed credentials of one of our vendors on the help desk platform that 2K uses to support our customers. Unauthorized parties sent messages containing malicious links to certain players. Please do not open any emails or click on any links you receive from your 2K Gaming Support account. "

Malicious links are reportedly disguised as download links for 2K launchers, but actually cause victims to download malware designed to steal passwords saved in browsers. If you have clicked on this link, 2K recommends resetting the password stored in your browser, 2K also recommends enabling multi-factor authentication where conditions exist, running an antivirus scan, and checking email settings for unexpected new forwarding rules.

CTOnews.com understands that this attack does not appear to be related to the hacking attack that leaked the GTA 6 video, 2K Games and Rockstar have the same parent company Take-Two, but the systems attacked are not related, and they are different types of attacks and targets. Rockstar's hack targeted developers and their game information, while the attack on 2K support used the company to reach its customers.
