GTA 6 Leaker Now Charges $165K To Make Contact, Builds System Linking Monero Payment To Private Session

The person or group behind the latest Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks is now demanding about $165,000 simply to open a line of communication, using a system that links a Monero payment to a newly generated account on the private messaging service Session.

CyberLeek, the name attached to the leaks, has added a Contact section to its website offering advertising placements and custom gameplay footage. The site says the 400 XMR payment is a contact fee that guarantees CyberLeek will respond through Session within 24 hours.

The payment does not itself buy an advertisement. CyberLeek says pricing, terms and deliverables are negotiated privately after contact is established. The distinctive element is how the site connects the payment to the prospective buyer.

Monero Payment Becomes the Contact Identifier

When a visitor generates contact details, the site creates a new Session account and provides a recovery password. It then produces a specific Monero payment amount.

The site instructs users to send the exact amount shown, including the digits after the decimal point. It describes those digits as a unique identifier and warns that sending the payment directly from a cryptocurrency exchange can alter the amount and prevent CyberLeek from identifying the account.

CyberLeek says the process generates a new 12-digit identifier that is mathematically tied to the newly created Session account. 'The numbers after the decimal point are your unique ID. Don't round them,' the site reads.

It then tells users to send the payment from a personal wallet and wait for CyberLeek to make contact.

The site claims it can detect the payment, derive the corresponding Session ID and send a message to the account generated for the transaction. It says the payment amount is the mechanism that connects the otherwise separate Monero transaction and Session account.

The $165,000 Payment Is Only an Entry Fee

The 400 XMR figure was worth about $165,000 at the time the offer was reported. CyberLeek describes the payment as a fee for initiating contact rather than a purchase of advertising.

The group says it is seeking 'community support and strategic partnerships' and offers advertising placements in future GTA 6 leak videos.

It also advertises custom gameplay footage tailored to brands, including adult content.

'All pricing, terms, and deliverables are discussed privately over Session,' the site reads. It also states that 'the Monero transfer serves as a contact fee that guarantees CYBERLEEK will respond to initiate the conversation.'

The distinction is explicit. Someone paying 400 XMR is not guaranteed a video placement or custom footage. The payment only opens the conversation, with the commercial arrangement to be negotiated afterward.

Why CyberLeek Is Using Session and Monero

Session is a privacy-focused messaging service that does not require a conventional phone number for an account. CyberLeek's site uses it as the private channel for negotiations after the Monero payment has been detected.

Monero, meanwhile, is designed to conceal transaction amounts and other transaction details from public blockchain observers. CyberLeek's system uses that property as part of its contact process rather than simply publishing a username or email address.

The result is a contact mechanism in which the website generates the messaging account and payment information together, while the exact payment amount acts as the identifier used to reconnect the two. The arrangement also means that the prospective buyer must preserve the Session recovery information generated by the site.

CyberLeek warns that losing the recovery words means losing the account and that the group would be unable to contact the user.

Contact Offer Appears as Take-Two Seeks the Leaker

The new system comes as Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is pursuing information that could help identify those behind the leaks. Take-Two has sought records from Microsoft and Discord in connection with the CyberLeek material, including account and device information.

The legal effort has increased the focus on the anonymous operation as CyberLeek continues to publish material from what it claims is an unreleased GTA 6 build. CyberLeek has meanwhile moved towards a more public form of monetisation.

Its contact page says it is not seeking a ransom from publishers to stop the leaks. Instead, it presents the operation as a way to sell access to advertising and commissioned content.

That makes the 400 XMR payment not just a price tag but a first step in a constructed contact process that uses a cryptocurrency transaction to identify a private messaging account. Whether anyone will pay the fee remains unclear.

CyberLeek now describes its leak operation as offering placements and bespoke material, with the payment itself serving as the bridge between an anonymous visitor and an anonymous operator.
