GTA Online hack can reportedly corrupt game data & \u201caffect your PC\u201d Rockstar GamesGTA Online community mainstay \u2018TezFunz2\u2019 has issued a warning over a hack that can corrupt game data and have adverse effects on a player\u2019s PC. Hacking has been a longstanding issue in GTA Online. From nefarious cheats that can get other players slapped with bad sport penalties to lighthearted things like spawning an elephant in the middle of Los Santos, it\u2019s a well-traveled topic in 2023. However, the community is riled up over the situation once again thanks to a new cheat that is allowing hackers to completely delete characters from the game, potentially ruining hundreds of hours of playtime for any unlucky target. GTA Online\u2019s \u201cRemote Code Execution\u201d hack sparks worry TezFunz2 first put out a warning to players to remind them that they should be playing with a firewall at all times if they want to steer clear of anyone jumping in their lobby and getting them banned \u2013 or hit with the aforementioned penalties. \u201cNew extreme exploits have appeared allowing cheaters to remotely add\/remove\/modify your stats and permanently corrupt your account,\u201d he announced. He also encouraged users to stay offline entirely for the time being, if they can help it. \u201cThe exploit is partial remote code execution. Paid mod menus are racing as we speak to abuse this to a further extent. This could transform into something much worse to extend beyond a game and affect your PC.\u201d The insider also revealed that this is \u201cat the top of the highest priority tasks internally right now\u201d for Rockstar and that the development of a full Remote Code Execution may add \u201clegal pressure\u201d to the situation. It\u2019s important to note that these hackers do not have to be invited into a session to join it, which is what makes a firewall so important to keep any potential victims safe. All in all, it may be safer to stay off the servers entirely until the dev team gets a handle on the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
