Rockstar Games has confirmed that it has suffered a new data breach, after a hacker group claimed to have acquired a large amount of information from the Grand Theft Auto 6 developer. On Saturday, the group ‘ShinyHunters’, which has previously targeted Microsoft, Cisco, AT&T, and Ticketmaster, claimed that it had breached Rockstar via third-party analytics platform Anodot, which is used by companies to track cloud costs. “Pay or leak,” it wrote, via The Cybersec Guru. “This is a final warning to reach out by April 14 before we leak, along with several annoying digital problems that will come your way. Make the right decision, don’t be the next headline.” Read More... View the full article
Ars Magica wowed players in 1987 with its mechanical complexity and thematic resonance. It's also influential as one of White Wolf's earliest narrative-focused tabletop RPGs. Among its developers were none other than Jonathan Tweet (Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition) and Mark Rein Hagen (Old World of Darkness). While definitely intimidating, Ars Magica is one of the most satisfying magic systems you'll experience on the tabletop. And you can enjoy all of them in the most convenient way possible.

Rockstar Games has once again come under attack from hackers who now claim that they've breached the company's security. ShinyHunters, as the group is named, is supposedly holding Rockstar's information for ransom and intends to leak it to the public if it is not paid. As per Cyber Security Guru, Rockstar Games was hacked after ShinyHunters exploited a vulnerability in Anodot, an AI analytics tool used by various companies, including Rockstar, to maximize cloud hosting efficiency by tracking real-time costs and spending. According to that site, Anodot operates deep within a company's security system, which seems to have allowed ShinyHunters to pierce into Rockstar Games' Snowflake data warehouse. By exploiting a vulnerability in Anodot, the hackers seemingly gained "authentication tokens," allowing them to simply walk into Snowflake and extract a ton of data before the company's security caught wind of the situation. Seeing as they accessed the warehouse using legitimate tokens, Rockstar likely had no idea anyone was doing anything nefarious until it was too late. This group, as Cyber Security Guru explains, has been around for years and successfully breached Microsoft, Wattpad, and AT&T, to name a few of their victims. The group allegedly gave Rockstar an ultimatum: pay the ransom or have your data leaked, with the following picture supposedly sent to the company. The font, the style, and the editing in the message above are all ripped straight out of Cyberpunk 2077, as this is how most messages appear to you in the game. Though they're supposed to be professionals, using stuff like this seems, at the very least, childish, though I'm not clued into the inner workings of hacker groups to know how their minds work. Rockstar Games has confirmed to Cyber Security Guru that a breach had indeed taken place, though users won't feel any of it. "This incident has no impact on our organization or our players," the company said. This isn't the first time Rockstar Games has had to deal with hackers and potential leakers. Huge development footage of GTA 6 leaked on several occasions a few years back, and if the hackers above are to be believed, perhaps even more is yet to be revealed, even though the game is months away from release.

These are your base of operations that will allow you to save your in-game progress. You can also rest and recover at these locations, along with storing all your loot. Table of contentsAll Shelters in Road to VostokHow to unlock all the Shelters in Road to VostokAll Shelters in Road to Vostok While the demo had just one Shelter to unlock, the numbers have been increased. There are six of them now, spread across all three map zones. The table below has a list of all Shelters, before we look into how to unlock them in the following section. NameMap ZoneLocationCabinVillageArea 05AtticVilageArea 05ClassroomSchoolArea 05TentOutpostBorder ZoneBunkerOutpostBorder ZoneRoomApartmentVostokHow to unlock all the Shelters in Road to Vostok Here's how you get to unlock all the Shelters that are available in the game. The method is different for each. Cabin: This comes unlocked by default. It offers all the basic amenities. You'll be using this for a long time until you learn to venture beyond the starting area.The Attic: Located above the Generalist (trader), you have to go right from the Cabin. Complete all his quests, and you'll gain the key. If the trader doesn't accept the items, click "Start Delivery" and pick the items from your inventory. You can also find the key as a random loot if you're lucky (in the School Sports Hall). Image via Road to Vostok Classroom: Located at the School, you'll have to collect three oil samples. The samples are located in a permadeath location, and it's almost impossible to get all three in a single trip. Frankly, it's better to just rely on your luck, given the type of enemies I have found while trying to get the oil samples.Tent: Go straight through the School until you reach Outpost. The Tent will be to your immediate left, and it's available for free. You'll still need to get shelves from the doctor before you get to store your gear.Bunker: Sitting on the left side of the valley in Outpost, you can find the key to this location from the gun trader. You'll need to first finish a task for him that requires you to eliminate an enemy named the Punisher. Once done, get his hat back to the trader for the key as your reward.Apartment Room: Located in Vostok, you'll have to cross the border checkpoint. Then, the key can be obtained at random from highly secure military zones. Be careful since Vostok is a permadeath region. If you die here, you lose everything, and you'll have to begin from scratch.

The Overwatch Season 2 update is almost upon us, and I can't quite believe we've made it through the first chapter of the multiplayer game's new era already. Looking towards the new season, associate game director Alec Dawson explains several of the big changes Blizzard is making in the short term, along with some of the team's longer-term goals for the year ahead. The 'Pharmercy' duo is back on the menu thanks to modernized kits for some of the oldest members of the roster, and we're even getting the return of post-match accolades. It's enough to call to mind those early glory days of a decade ago. Read the rest of the story...

t the end of 2024, I resigned myself to the fact that BioWare was no longer capable, or willing, to make the kind of RPGs that once cemented it as the titan of the genre—or to put it more selfishly, the kind of RPGs I wanted to play. After The Veilguard, which followed Anthem, which followed Andromeda, I'd lost faith. I was emphatic and probably a little bit dramatic: I was out and the studio that excited me more than any other RPG developer was long gone... Read more.View the full article

We may have gotten our first look at the main character from Rockstar's infamously canceled spy thriller, Agent, thanks to the stolen Grand Theft Auto 5 source code.
