The publisher has filed DMCA subpoenas seeking account, device and IP information linked to the CyberLeek persona and alleged GTA 6 gameplay leaks.
Take-Two Interactive has escalated its legal efforts to identify the person or people behind the “CyberLeek” persona, which has been linked to recent Grand Theft Auto 6 gameplay leaks.
The company filed two DMCA subpoenas in the Southern District of New York on August 20, targeting Microsoft and Discord for information that could help uncover the identity of those allegedly involved in distributing the unreleased footage.
According to the filings, Take-Two is seeking extensive information connected to accounts associated with the alleged leaker. The requests include names, IP addresses, phone numbers, device identifiers, linked Google and Xbox accounts, as well as OneDrive data.
The requested records cover communications involving accounts in three named Discord servers between June 1, 2026, and the present. Take-Two has reportedly set September 4 as the deadline for the companies to provide the requested information.
Take-Two seeks detailed device information
One of the subpoenas directed at Microsoft requests a MachineGuid identifier, a Windows-generated value that can remain associated with a system even after certain hardware changes.
The filing also seeks specific device telemetry connected with certain tools or file artifacts, although the relevant exhibit does not appear to provide a complete list of those artifacts.
The Discord subpoena identifies three servers: Ødyssey.gg, “! Odyssey,” and DarkViperAU.
Take-Two described Ødyssey.gg as a cheat community and referred to it in the filing as the alleged operator’s “home.”
GitHub repository also targeted
Take-Two has also taken action against material allegedly connected to the CyberLeek leaks.
The company reportedly sent a copyright takedown notice to GitHub on August 19 concerning the repository zyrexdz/cyberleek-leak-research. The notice requested that the repository be completely disabled, with Take-Two describing the material as an infringement of its copyright.
The legal filings have also brought attention to the Discord server operated by Australian content creator DarkViperAU. The documents describe the server as an editors’ server.
DarkViperAU, whose real name is Matthew “DarkViperAU” Judge, has denied having knowledge of the alleged leaks, writing on X: “I don’t know anything.”
More GTA 6 footage reportedly surfaces
The legal action comes as additional GTA 6 footage continues to circulate online.
A sixth gameplay video reportedly surfaced on August 21, adding to the growing amount of unreleased material appearing ahead of the game’s launch.
The filings indicate that Take-Two is now pursuing information from major technology platforms in an effort to determine who operates the CyberLeek accounts and how the footage was obtained and distributed.
The company’s latest moves underline its increasingly aggressive approach toward protecting GTA 6 content before the highly anticipated game reaches players.
