Rockstar Social Club accounts hijacked

In the last few days some Grand Theft Auto V players have had their Rockstar Social Club accounts hijacked, as first flagged by Rockstar Support on Twitter.

As some users have reported, their accounts are now locked. If you are among the victims you can contact Rockstar Support who are working with users to restore account access.

The good news is that personal information hasn't been compromised, as confirmed by Rockstar in this official statement:

"As confirmed yesterday, the Rockstar Games Social Club has not been compromised. However, it appears that attempts have been made to access user accounts using email and password combinations from an unaffiliated, compromised website or database elsewhere on the internet. For the accounts affected, we are in the process of reverting those accounts back to their original owners. As a reminder, it is a good policy to ensure that the Rockstar Games Social Club account username and password is not shared across multiple websites on the internet."

Even if you've not been affected by this latest issue, it might still be a good time to change up those passwords.

Thanks, Kotaku.
