Full timeline through 2026
2026 — third-party breach (Anodot/Snowflake token path; ShinyHunters extortion; “non-material” info)
Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. In mid-April 2026, Rockstar Games publicly confirmed that “a limited amount of non-material company information” was accessed in connection with a third-party data breach, stating no impact on players or the organization in the same breath as the confirmation. Trade reporting described the extortion group ShinyHunters claiming access to Rockstar’s Snowflake analytics environment via compromised integrations with the cloud cost/analytics vendor Anodot—i.e., abuse of third-party tokens rather than a headline Snowflak Exposed categories include Rockstar minimized player impact; criminals marketed large Snowflake-era analytics/companion datasets per press—overlap with Vimeo/Anodot April 2026 cluster described elsewhere. BreachHistory cites approximately 78.6M+ affected records in this row. See the rockstar 2026 record and canonical BreachHistory entry.
