Hackers tampering with players’ statistics in GTA Online, risking bans

No matter which game you play, you will definitely face hackers. Hackers use unethical ways to alter the game mechanics and often ruin other players’ gaming experiences. Grand Theft Auto is no stranger to hackers. There are tons of hackers who utilize hacks for unlimited health or aimbots in GTA Online.

Currently, hackers are attacking Grand Theft Auto Online’s systems, corrupting user accounts, and changing metrics that may result in account cancellation or bans. According to a well-known “GTA” insider, this is happening on PC platforms and has already resulted in a number of issues for other accounts. He also suggested that players should avoid playing GTA Online on PC until Rockstar Games addresses this problem.

Due to the fact that PC players’ entire in-game data is now at risk, the level of harm these exploits might cause is unthinkable. You’re in luck if you play on a console like the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, or an Xbox Series S or X because this security issue only affects the PC platform.

Tez2 suggested that players should avoid playing GTA Online for the time being. If players still want to play the game then they use a firewall while playing the game. Here’s a method that gamers can utilize to save their data until Rockstar officially fixes the new threats:

  1. Download Guardian 1.54 Fast Load Fix from Gitlab
  2. Select “Locked Session”

GTA Online is a relatively old game for which GTA 5 serves as the base. The developer releases interesting modes and experiences that focus on what “Grand Theft Auto” has to offer on a regular basis through updates and various events. Players enjoy playing this GTA Online until the new installment, GTA 6 comes out. So this exploit is quite a bummer for all players.
