A scam website posing as a GTA 6 fan countdown page tricks visitors into buying a “leaked copy” and then prompts them to connect a crypto wallet. Once connected, it generates transactions/approvals designed to transfer the victim’s cryptocurrency (and potentially NFTs) to the attacker. The site uses accurate-looking GTA 6 details to appear trustworthy, while hiding a wallet-draining script behind the purchase flow.
A scam website styled itself as a GTA 6 fan countdown page while offering to sell a leaked copy of the game for $50 or 1 SOL. The moment a visitor arrived, the page loaded a wallet drainer, code built to steal cryptocurrency and other digital assets from connected wallets. When a visitor chose to pay with cryptocurrency, the drainer asked them to connect a wallet, then requested a transaction or permission approval. That approval is what actually moves funds or grants ongoing access to tokens and NFTs.
Two malicious components were identified: an inline script focused on Solana, and a larger multi-chain script capable of targeting Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, and Fantom. The site also blocked visitors from a list of countries using a setting tied to reducing law-enforcement exposure.
The page mixed accurate details, such as real artwork and release date information, with a fraudulent purchase flow. That accuracy lent the site credibility even though the actual transaction mechanics were malicious. The site also used a reassurance tactic, telling visitors that every other leak site was a scam and that this one was the only safe place to buy, a technique designed to lower the guard of anyone already suspicious.
Sales copy still contained tells, including a misspelled word and a reference to GTA IV instead of VI, but these were easy to miss for a visitor eager for early access to a major release.

The site loads a wallet drainer as soon as visitors arrive, then asks anyone paying with cryptocurrency to connect a wallet and approve a transaction or permission that can transfer funds or grant ongoing access to tokens and NFTs.
No. According to the source, nobody is selling a playable copy of GTA 6 yet, so any site offering a leaked, early, or playable copy is not an authorized seller.
Warning signs include being asked to connect a crypto wallet on a game site, reassurance language claiming every other site is a scam except this one, and sales copy with misspellings or a reference to the wrong game title.
No. Rockstar does not ask buyers to connect a cryptocurrency wallet or send cryptocurrency to a wallet address, so any such request should be treated as a stop sign.
You see a slick GTA 6 countdown site, big banner: “Leaked copy – only $50 or 1 SOL.” Tempting, right? The moment you land, it silently loads a wallet drainer. Choose crypto, and it pushes: “Connect wallet to pay.” Behind that, code is inventorying your wallet and prepping transactions to drain your crypto and NFTs. The page insists every other leak site is a scam and this is the “only safe place,” while the copy misspells “download” and even mentions GTA IV. Your wallet screen then asks to move way more than $50 or to grant broad token and NFT permissions. Here’s the move: treat any wallet connection request on a game or leak site as a stop sign. Don’t connect, don’t approve, close the tab and only trust official GTA 6 announcements.
