NordVPN warns that cybercriminals are exploiting public interest in Grand Theft Auto 6 before the game’s official release. According to the alert, scammers are promoting fake “beta keys” and phishing sites designed to lure users into entering information or downloading malicious content. The activity also includes malware delivered through “early access” download links that are presented as official game-related files, but instead install harmful software on victims’ devices. The warnings further note Android-specific threats, including adware distributed through scam campaigns that target mobile users with deceptive promotions. In addition, the reported schemes aim to steal or compromise Rockstar-related accounts using phishing pages that imitate legitimate login or account management flows. Both outlets describe the same overall pattern: criminals are cashing in on the GTA 6 launch anticipation by using fake offers and look-alike webpages to deceive users and distribute malware. The reports emphasize that the game is not yet available and the threats are tied to scam materials circulating online ahead of launch.
