Grand Theft Auto V cheat service gets hacked, exposing thousands of gamers

《侠盗猎车手 5》外挂服务遭黑客攻击，数千名玩家信息泄露

Atlas Menu, a cheat service for popular online video game Grand Theft Auto V, has been hacked, according to data breach notification website Have I Been Pwned. The stolen data included users’ email addresses, usernames, scrambled passwords, IP addresses, and support tickets, according to Have I Been Pwned, which said almost 64,000 accounts were part of the breach. 据数据泄露通知网站“Have I Been Pwned”显示，热门网络游戏《侠盗猎车手 5》（Grand Theft Auto V）的外挂服务“Atlas Menu”遭到黑客攻击。据该网站称，此次泄露的数据包括用户的电子邮件地址、用户名、加密密码、IP 地址以及支持工单，受影响的账户近 6.4 万个。

Ironically, Atlas Menu claimed to offer “secure authentication and enhanced privacy through our advanced encryption techniques,” according to its official site, which is down at the time of writing. The hacker who claimed responsibility for the breach posted the allegedly stolen data on GitHub. The hacker’s motivation appeared to be revenge against a scammer. The owners of Atlas Menu could not be reached for comment. 讽刺的是，根据其官方网站（目前已无法访问）的描述，Atlas Menu 曾声称通过“先进的加密技术”提供“安全认证和增强的隐私保护”。声称对此次攻击负责的黑客已将据称被盗的数据发布在 GitHub 上。该黑客的动机似乎是为了向一名诈骗者复仇。目前无法联系到 Atlas Menu 的所有者置评。

Atlas Menu, according to a video posted on its website, for example offered features such as “invisibility;” “super jump,” which allowed the player to jump higher than normal; and the ability to fly through the map. The impact of the breach appears to expose users who signed up to Atlas Menu to cheat on the game. 根据其网站上发布的一段视频，Atlas Menu 提供的功能包括“隐身”、“超级跳跃”（允许玩家跳得比平时更高）以及在地图中飞行等。此次泄露事件的影响在于，那些注册 Atlas Menu 以在游戏中作弊的用户信息已被曝光。

Game cheats have evolved into a multimillion-dollar business, as professional gamers seek an advantage over their competitors. Atlas Menu is not the first cheat service to get hacked. A popular cheat service for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was reportedly breached a few years ago. 随着职业玩家寻求竞争优势，游戏外挂已演变成一门价值数百万美元的生意。Atlas Menu 并非首个被黑的外挂服务。据报道，几年前，一款针对《反恐精英：全球攻势》（Counter-Strike: Global Offensive）的热门外挂服务也曾遭到入侵。
