GTA VI

Over 90 videos have just been leaked for the next installment, showing Vice City, female protagonist etc. All of which have been heavily rumoured already but I guess this confirms a lot of things! 

Someone is going to be in big trouble when they turn up to work tomorrow.

As far as I'm aware this was the result of the company Slack getting hacked via social engineering, which allowed the hacker to breach the company network and download assets. The person that carried out this hack allegedly also hacked Uber a few days ago. 

This hack is huge. As @villarule123 said 90+ videos of in-engine debug footage from GTA VI. Plus, GTA V and GTA VI source code has allegedly also been stolen, the latter of which could see GTA VI delayed internally by multiple years as they refactor code that could impact the games online security.

Reading the original GTA forums thread is quite amusing, one guy in particular stubbornly maintaining that it's fake is a highlight. 

Currently the leaker is advertising his contact details to R* employees so he can make a deal with them.

looks great. shame we wont get to play it for a good while

Think that's the main thing, no doubt it'll piss rockstar off for a lot of reasons and they won't see the positives but at the same time it looks brilliant in places and the buzz for this will astronomical, the internet is the Internet but I'm not sure how anyone watches that and picks it apart 

Looks slightly more realistic and has seemingly lost a little bit of that GTAness, cartoonish style would be the wrong word but you know what I mean

No idea, that's simply what they last edited their original post to say a couple of hours ago.

It might mean they have more.

So far, the hacker/leaker has only leaked small amounts of the source code, but they may have more, and what they may still have could be the parts of the source code that are damaging to the project.

For instance, this person could leak an excerpt of code for some single player feature, and no one at Rockstar would bat an eye, but if this person leaks the whole source code for GTA 6 Online then that would require massive re-writes as that would leave GTA 6 Online vulnerable to exploits, malware attacks, cheats and other things that could affect the players, or the security of the platform running the game. That kind of source code leak would give other unsavoury people the keys to the kingdom, and it would cost Rockstar tens of millions as they spend the 6-12+ months re-writing all code associated with GTA 6 Online. 

That said most companies don't give in to ransoms because it paints a massive target on them going forward. You don't want to be the company that gave millions of dollars to some hacker to get your source code back, because every hacker/criminal on the planet is going to descend on you like vultures.

Also the hacker can just keep the money and then release the code anyway.

GTA forums have shut it down now, the original poster seems to have gone, from there at least. 

GTA Forums have restricted the hackers account likely at the request of Take-Two Interactive. They also had their telegram account suspended, but they're now on telegram under the name LilyHowarth, at least until that account gets suspended as well.
