Hackers Steal .com Domain from GTAinside, a Pioneer in GTA Modding

GTAinside.com, a long-standing website dedicated to Grand Theft Auto modifications, has fallen victim to hackers who have successfully stolen its .com domain. The site's owner has issued a warning advising users to avoid using the .com address as it is currently unsafe.

The incident occurred on June 7th, and since then, visitors to GTAinside.com are being redirected to a fraudulent copy of the website that the administration has no affiliation with. The portal's creator has assured users that their personal information is safe, as all accounts, email addresses, and passwords remain secure. The legitimate site is currently only accessible via GTAinside.de. The administration has stated they are actively working to recover the .com domain and hope to have it restored to its rightful owner within the next few days.

LibertyCity's editorial team discovered that the fake website utilizes DataLife Engine, a content management system that is popular in Russia. Furthermore, the statistics page loads in Russian (indicating that the Russian language was selected during the DLE installation), which may suggest the geographical location of the hackers.

It's worth noting that GTAinside.com has been around for 21 years, having launched on May 20, 2004.
