It has been a rough couple of days for Grand Theft Auto Online players. Some hackers are using a new hacking scheme which was named “Extreme Exploit” to tamper with other players’ stats. This tampering is causing the permanent account ban of players. It was suggested to not play GTA Online without any firewall or just avoid playing at all. But better late than never, Rockstar Games has finally revealed that they are aware of the current issue.
Mod menus have long been a problem with GTA Online. They essentially provide cheaters with a variety of extra options. Although they can annoy other players by instantly murdering them or changing them into other items, players primarily employ them to get around GTA Online’s microtransactions. Free mod menus are simpler to find and more likely to result in a ban, while premium choices are typically more difficult to locate. Since the 2013 introduction of GTA Online, Rockstar Games has filed lawsuits against several distributors of mod menus.
It is very good news for players that Rockstar Games has acknowledge this issue and is working to solve this.
