Securinets Friendly CTF 2026 / Pwn WRITEUP

The First Leek

Rockstar called it a rumor. CyberLeek called it Tuesday. Something from GTA VI escaped into the streets of Leonida, and everyone who shared it has gone silent. Before disappearing, CyberLeek left one final message: > They can stop the leak. They cannot stop the leek. Recover the proof before the takedown arrives.
