Points of Focus
- Leaked GTA VI footage carries watermarks promoting a Solana memecoin.
- One watermark states the X account pumping the token is fake.
- Two wallets hold 41.91% of the token’s market cap.
Gameplay footage and map images from Grand Theft Auto VI began circulating on Aug. 17, three months before the game’s highly anticipated Nov. 19 release and nine days before Rockstar’s scheduled Extended Look premiere on Netflix.

The material is authentic, confirmed by the volume of DMCA takedowns Take-Two has issued against it, and dates to 2023, according to the leaker’s admission.
What separates this from previous game leaks is the watermarking. Clips carry a bouncing overlay reading “Buy $CYBERLEEK on Solana,” alongside a QR code, turning stolen footage into a paid acquisition channel for a token. The pseudonymous entity behind the leaks, Cyberleek, published a manifesto positioning the campaign as consumer advocacy against Take-Two’s decision to ship no physical GTA VI discs.
“A digital copy cannot sell out. Yet publishers kept the preorder system and stripped away its only consumer benefit,” Cyberleek said in a statement.
The CYBERLEEK attribution problem buyers cannot solve
The complication sits inside the leaks themselves. A watermark on recent footage states that Cyberleek does not have an X account. An X profile promoting the token nonetheless gained more than 100,000 followers within 24 hours, and the GTA VI mapping community has flagged additional accounts, including “MrCyberLeek” and “cyberleek_ar_io,” as impersonators. One was caught posting AI-generated images presented as fresh leaks before deleting them.
That leaves anyone buying the token unable to establish who issued it, who holds the liquidity, or who receives the proceeds. An independent research repository tracking the leaks characterizes the token as a pump-and-dump and advises against interacting with it.
Nope, most of the videos you're seeing on X aren't "leaked GTA VI" footage
They're AI recreations made by fans who've been waiting so long for its release that the Iran war is starting to look like the shorter commitment
Cyberleek has been posting what appear to be genuine…

Cyberleek’s manifesto states the group is raising funds for a secret project it declines to describe, arguing that disclosure would allow corporations to prepare countermeasures and asserting the effort is not a cash grab.
Two wallets hold 42% of CYBERLEEK’s market cap
The token’s contract address shows a current price of $0.001245 and a total supply of 999,997,814.86 tokens on Solscan. The distribution is heavily concentrated: The top five wallets hold 46.62% of the token’s market cap, and the top 10 hold 51.87%, worth roughly $377,190 combined.
Three whale wallets alone hold 14.9% of the total supply, worth about $108,390. At the other end of the distribution, 7,988 holders are classified as shrimp wallets holding under $10 and together control just 9.22% of market value.
A structure where two wallets hold $304,730, more than 41% of the token’s entire market capitalization between them, means those two holders could move the price substantially with a single sell order, a concrete risk for anyone buying based on follower counts or promotional watermarks alone.
Liquidity lock status and mint authority remain unverified and would need direct onchain queries or a tool such as DEX Screener to confirm before publication.
Why the movement Cyberleek cites has disowned the token
The manifesto invokes Stop Killing Games, the campaign YouTuber Ross Scott launched in April 2024 after Ubisoft shut down servers for The Crew, which made the game inaccessible and unplayable. That movement has condemned the GTA VI leaks and urged supporters not to send money to Cyberleek, arguing the approach undermines legitimate consumer-rights work.
Rockstar has issued no public statement on either the leaks or the token promoted alongside them.
