Atlas Menu, a cheat service for popular online video game Grand Theft Auto V, has been hacked, in keeping with data breach notification website Have I Been Pwned.
The stolen data included users’ email addresses, usernames, scrambled passwords, IP addresses, and support tickets, in keeping with Have I Been Pwned, which said almost 64,000 accounts were a part of the breach.
Mockingly, Atlas Menu claimed to supply “secure authentication and enhanced privacy through our advanced encryption techniques,” in keeping with its official site, which is down on the time of writing.
The hacker who claimed responsibility for the breach posted the allegedly stolen data on GitHub. The hacker’s motivation seemed to be revenge against a scammer.
The owners of Atlas Menu couldn’t be reached for comment.

Atlas Menu, in keeping with a video posted on its website, for instance offered features equivalent to “invisibility;” “super jump,” which allowed the player to leap higher than normal; and the power to fly through the map.
The impact of the breach appears to show users who signed as much as Atlas Menu to cheat on the sport. Game cheats have evolved right into a multimillion-dollar business, as skilled gamers seek a bonus over their competitors.
Atlas Menu will not be the primary cheat service to get hacked. A preferred cheat service for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was reportedly breached a number of years ago.
