Netcraft reports that scammers are promoting supposed leaked builds, early copies and mobile versions of Grand Theft Auto VI weeks before its 19 November launch. Netcraft examined GTA VI-themed domains that appeared between 1 July and 27 October 2026, and found that many lures borrow the name of the leaker CyberLeek. The campaigns push malware and crypto scams.
