Rockstar on GTA 5 Social Club "Hack"

"The Rockstar Games Social Club has not been compromised."

Rockstar games says that its online service for Grand Theft Auto V and other games, has not been hacked. The statement comes as a response to players who wrote on Reddit and Rockstar's own support forums that their accounts had been hijacked in the days following GTA V's release for PC.

In Rockstar's statement, the developer said that it is aware of cases of compromised accounts, and is working with affected users to straighten things out.

"The Rockstar Games Social Club has not been compromised," the developer explained. "However, it appears that attempts have been made to access user accounts using email and password combinations from an unaffiliated, compromised website or database elsewhere on the Internet."

"For the accounts affected, we are in the process of reverting those accounts back to their original owners. As a reminder, it is a good policy to ensure that the Rockstar Games Social Club account username and password is not shared across multiple websites on the Internet."

GTA V was released for PC on Tuesday, April 14.
