It has been hailed as the \"biggest leak\" for Rockstar Games and there may be some people clamoring for the files. But the latest reports say it's fake and the leak contains ransomware.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A ZIP archive is probably circulating, which is supposed to be protected with a password.
