We’ve seen scam sites built around Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) targeting visitors in three different ways this year.

In June, we looked at sites selling GTA 6 “early access” for hundreds of dollars in cryptocurrency. You paid, got nothing, and could not reverse the payment. In August, we found fake Extended Look and demo sites delivering an infostealer instead of a game.

The site we examined this week looks like a GTA 6 fan countdown site but offers to sell a leaked copy of the game. It loads a wallet drainer the moment you arrive: code designed to steal cryptocurrency and other assets from connected wallets. Choose to pay with cryptocurrency, and the drainer asks you to connect a wallet. It can target assets across several blockchain networks.

What the page looks like

The disguise works because much of the page uses accurate-looking information. There is a live countdown to November 19, a map of Leonida, and a grid of release facts and gameplay tiles. The release details match Rockstar’s own announcements: GTA 6 is scheduled for November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Rockstar has not announced a PC version.

Two offers sit among that accurate material. One sells a leaked copy for $50. The other offers the same thing for cryptocurrency: 1 SOL (worth about $102 at the time of writing).
