GTA Online patch finally tackles remote hacking exploits on PC Take-Two InteractiveThe latest GTA Online patch finally tackles issues related to remote hacking exploits that affect the game\u2019s PC version. Hacking has long impacted Grand Theft Auto Online\u2019s PC community. However, things took a turn for the worst late last year when remote crash and kick exploits became the norm. The issue popped up after a weekly update, allowing hackers who weren\u2019t even in the same session as their target to kick users out of their game. PC players received another warning in January 2023, as a \u201cremote code execution\u201d exploit had the potential to corrupt data and impact the function of PCs. Hopefully, a new update from Rockstar rids GTA Online of the problem. Remote exploits on PC snuffed out in GTA Online patch Rockstar Games has unleashed GTA V\u2019s Title Update 1.66 on PC to specifically tackle security-related issues plaguing GTA Online. Most importantly, Update 1.66 fixes an issue that permitted third parties to modify a user\u2019s GTA Online experience by \u201caltering GTA$ balance, RP level, Bad Sport status, and other player stats.\u201d In addition, third parties should no longer be able to manipulate players with crash and kick exploits. The new update further implements a data protocol that \u201cimprove[s] the security of network sessions and player-to-player messaging.\u201d It\u2019s worth noting that these measures won\u2019t eliminate cheating outright. The update keeps hackers from using exploits in invite-only sessions, yet GTA Online\u2019s PC users will still encounter typical instances of cheating from time to time. At the very least, 1.66 marks a step in the right direction for those who\u2019ve been battling crash and kick exploits for the last several weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
