Take-Two: the "GTA6" leak will not have any impact on development. Sales of "GTA5" exceed 170 million.

CTOnews.com Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick claims the recent GTA6 leak won't have any impact on development.

Recently, an anonymous user posted more than an hour of GTA 6 development video on the GTA forum, which may become one of the most high-profile data breaches in the history of the gaming industry. At the time, Star R said it did not expect the event to have any long-term impact on its development timeline.

Take-Two reiterated that message on Monday's second-quarter earnings call, with Strauss Zelnick saying,"With regard to leaks, it's very unfortunate that we do take such incidents very seriously," according to VGC. "

There's no evidence that any material assets were stolen, which is a good thing, and certainly the leaks won't have any impact on development or anything like that, but it's very disappointing and makes us more vigilant about things related to cybersecurity.

Prosecutor Valerie Benjamin told the court that the suspects had used cell phones to hack into companies and "blackmail them" to obtain illegally obtained software. The man denied in youth court that he used his mobile phone to hack. The judge announced that the case would be referred to a higher court, where "similar" cases would be heard later.

On Monday's earnings call, Take-Two said it has shipped more than 170 million units of GTA 5 since its initial launch in 2013.
