GTA Online It is a game quite loved by the community, allowing you to be the protagonist of your own adventure in Los Santos, unfortunately playing now is a danger. It happens that an account focused on reporting news about Rockstar games has published that there are security vulnerabilities in Grand Theft Auto Online, which are extreme exploits that can completely corrupt your account.

As described by Tezz2 in Twitter, the exploit allows a modder to take away another user’s in-game rank and currency, completely reset their account progress, or “corrupt” their account in such a way that they are effectively banned from playing online. After this there is already a post on the GTA Online subreddit indicating that at the moment “it is not safe to play the game on PC”.
Rockstar I would already be aware about the problem, as well as working on a solution, In the meantime, the same person who described the problem indica that a temporary solution is to delete the folder Rockstar Games from “My Documents”, then start GTA Online to update the profile data. Speyedris the creator of the GTA 5 Guardian custom firewall tool, according to him, the tool could protect against exploitbut the developer doesn’t want users to be at risk, so they have temporarily removed the Guardian files.
Anyway, until there is an official response from Rockstar, it’s probably best to avoid playing GTA Onlineso maybe it’s time to try that game you have in your library and haven’t played yet.
