Scammers use fake GTA 6 early access sites to steal cryptocurrency and install malware

Summary

Scammers are exploiting the massive hype around Grand Theft Auto 6 by creating AI-generated fake websites that mimic Rockstar Games' official art. These fraudulent sites promise "early access" or beta access to GTA 6 in exchange for cryptocurrency payments (typically Bitcoin), but instead deliver malware to victims. Malwarebytes warns there is no public beta for GTA 6, making any such offer inherently fraudulent.
