Rumor: Rockstar Social Club Hit by Major Breaches, Tech Support May Be Involved
The YouTube channel Mors Mutual Insurance has released a high-profile video titled “Corruption inside Rockstar,” claiming that the Social Club platform was completely compromised several years ago. According to the video, this allowed hackers to access user data, accounts, and Rockstar’s internal support tools. Both third-party support staff and outsourcing agencies working with Rockstar are suspected of being involved in the leaks.
Social Club is Rockstar’s ecosystem for its games, requiring mandatory accounts for multiplayer (like GTA 4 and GTA 5), Crews, content creation and sharing tools, in-game events and streams, and tracking stats and progress.
The video details a 2022 incident where the owner of a rare Crew with a two-character tag (at a time when the platform required at least four characters) had their account stolen via a security bypass. It also describes the hacking of YouTuber Gilly Master’s account, which resulted in all his Crew members being removed.
Hackers even targeted Rockstar Games’ own official Crew, demanding a $10,000 ransom, but the group was simply deleted without any negotiations.
The video’s author notes that the exact hacking method is unknown, but it most likely involved access through outsourced support agents, some of whom may have been tricked or bribed.
On their X page, Mors Mutual Insurance claims to have witnessed a demonstration of access to Rockstar’s internal admin panels. Reportedly, Rockstar does not adequately protect user data and has not publicly responded to these incidents.
“Some of these have shown me their access to official Rockstar Support social club admin panels. They even managed to get all my personal account data from my Social Club accounts. Hereby Rockstar failed to protect its own users' data,” the YouTuber said.
Other claims made in the video:
- There was an active black market for unique Crew tags, with prices ranging from $150 to $300. Full access to Rockstar’s admin tools could reportedly be bought for around $50,000;
- Hackers used extortion tactics—stealing accounts and offering to return them for a fee. Victims included not only regular players but also popular YouTubers and even Rockstar employees;
- According to some estimates, these schemes brought in at least $10,000 per month for the organizers.
This summer, Rockstar disabled core Social Club features—the site now redirects to the company’s homepage. Rumor has it the reason is widespread vulnerabilities, outdated architecture, and a spike in account and Crew thefts. The gaming community is now anticipating the announcement of a new social service ahead of GTA 6’s release.
There has been no official comment or investigation from Rockstar or Take-Two regarding these events. All information above should be treated as rumor.
