The article describes real-world scams riding on the GTA 6 leak hype, including fake “Extended Look” and “demo” websites that deliver password-stealing malware.

Mirage safely runs attacks like this one against your own team, so you find out what happens before a real adversary does.
You see a link: “GTA 6 Extended Look – playable demo, leaked today.” Tempting, right? Malwarebytes actually found fake GTA 6 “Extended Look” and “demo” sites that install password-stealing malware.

If you see a GTA 6 “demo,” “extended look,” or “free early access” outside official Rockstar channels, assume it’s malware or a wallet scam, close the tab and walk away.
