Tez2 took to Twitter to announce that PC players are under attack by hackers. He stated that these exploits are ‘extreme’ in nature and further informed that cheaters now have the opportunity to remotely add, eliminate and modify several important details pertaining to players including their statistics.
Cheaters, according to Tez2, also have the authority to corrupt players’ accounts to the extent that they are left with no option but to delete them. For the time being, Tez2 has recommended that GTA Online players should either install a firewall before playing the game or stay away from GTA Online for a while.

If what Tez2 has stated is true, this is a very serious security issue that needs to be resolved quickly. Once the account of a player gets deleted, they might get very skeptical about playing the game again. They might not create an account again and drop the idea of coming back to play the game. To ensure that GTA Online does not witness a decline in its player base, Rockstar should take some immediate steps to resolve this issue.
