The data breach took place as hackers were able to access to 2K’s support platform and used it to send emails to users with a malicious link inside. As a result, 2K Games took their help deks offline while they investigated the issue, although it’s back now and 2K say it’s safe to use. Their email to affected users says that 2K “remain in communication with the appropriate law enforcement agencies.”

This hack is also wholly unrelated to the security breach at 2K studio Rockstar, whichled to the leak of footage of the in-development GTA 6.
