The person or group behind the recent GTA 6 leaks, known online as Cyberleek, has taken another unusual step by adding a new contact and advertising section to its website. The page claims Cyberleek is now open to paid advertising deals and even custom-made GTA 6 gameplay footage, but getting a response reportedly requires an enormous upfront cryptocurrency payment.

In brief:

  • Cyberleek has added a new contact and advertising section to its website.
  • The leaker is offering in-video advertising, including branded watermarks.
  • Brands can reportedly request custom-made GTA 6 gameplay footage.
  • Contact reportedly requires a 400 XMR payment, valued at roughly $164,730

GTA 6 Leaker Cyberleek Is Now Offering Paid Advertising

According to the newly added contact page, Cyberleek claims it is raising money through “community support and strategic partnerships.” Rather than asking publishers to pay to prevent additional leaks, the group says it is offering premium advertising space and exclusive content opportunities.

Potential advertisers are reportedly being offered placements such as branded video watermarks on leaked footage. Cyberleek also claims brands can request custom-made gameplay footage tailored around their requirements. Pricing and other details would then be negotiated privately through the encrypted Session messaging platform.

Cyberleek Reportedly Wants Around $165,000 Just for Contact

The most surprising part is the entry fee. PC Gamer reports that Cyberleek requires a “donation” of 400 Monero, or XMR, before providing access to private negotiations.

At the conversion rate cited by the outlet on August 21, that amount was approximately $164,730 USD. Importantly, the payment does not appear to purchase an advertisement itself. It reportedly functions as a contact fee that guarantees a response, meaning any actual advertising or custom footage costs would seemingly be negotiated afterward.

Take-Two Is Already Pursuing the GTA 6 Leak

The advertising offer arrives while Take-Two is taking legal action to identify people connected to the recent GTA 6 leaks. The company filed subpoenas seeking information from Microsoft and Discord regarding alleged copyright infringement, with the leaked videos being associated with the Cyberleek name.

Cyberleek’s true identity remains publicly unconfirmed, so claims surrounding the operation should still be treated cautiously. However, the new advertising page suggests whoever is behind the leaks is now attempting to monetize the attention surrounding the unauthorized GTA 6 footage in increasingly aggressive ways.
