Hi guys, just an update on the hacking progress (spoiler free!)
Good news, basically it was only the audio that were leaked. Everything else is encrypted, and even though brute force attempts are being made it's pretty much impossible to crack anything else without the encryption key. The key is stored in an executable encrypted by Sony themselves, so there's not a hope of that being leaked unless a game disk is leaked. So we're pretty much safe for now until a store employee gets their hands on a console disk. Even then it's still going to take time.
Now for the bad news, a lot of weazel news radio was leaked, so it may be possible for the general theme of the game to be leaked, but there won't be any gameplay videos or new pictures. The loading music was also part of the music leak.
However, Rockstar have been busy at work, removing all links/music/leak discussion - everything from various forums and whatnot. So the situation is pretty much under control at the moment. Worst case scenario you accidentally come across a song or news bulletin, so it's not too bad.
So at least yous don't have to hide from the internet now, and CMpunked can be a mod again

So does that mean that the "final mission" dialogue leak was a load of crap?
Yep, it was just music and some random encounters, as well as weazel news.
As far as I know no mission dialogue as been leaked.
Rockstar have done a great job of removing everything, I was actually really surprised when I checked a few places today, gta forums is completely clean, as well as youtube, and loads of download links for the audio are gone too.
Now the names of some of songs on the radio are still easy enough to find, but that's not that big of a deal. Basically you're not going find anything unless you try hard, and even then there's nothing much - certainly not in the way of major mission spoilers.
Whether or not someone compiles all the weazel news reports to piece everything together still remains to be seen - but we're not getting anything more than that audio file. The preload was even pulled from the ps store.
Here's all the weazel news from gta iv, so you can get an idea of what to expect in the worst case scenario.
Having said that, anything that goes up there will be immediately pulled, rockstar are watching!

Playing gta 4 getting well psyched for V. I just hope they have L1 as aim and R1 as shoot this time.
Same here!
My game is a bit messed up though, I can only play for about 15 mins before my audio goes and it freezes on whatever sound was being played at that time.
I still use the classic controller layout though (for driving mainly) should really get used to the new one before V0 -

Going gold usually means that it has sold 1 million copies 0 -
Oh and for those somehow blaming R* for the leaked content (hopefully ironically), Sony have issued an apology for it!Regrettably, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTA V assets. These assets were posted online. We have since removed the digital pre-order file from the PlayStation Store in Europe. We sincerely apologize to Rockstar and GTA fans across the world who were exposed to the spoiler content. GTA V is one of the most highly anticipated games of the year with a very passionate following, and we’re looking forward to a historic launch on September 170

I wonder why they would use different levels of encryption on the game, did they want people to be able to hack parts of it? folks If you don’t want to risk spoilers I’d still be careful where I’d look online, from what I saw they have hacked dialogue for some missions, heck I even found a PDF of someone who started to transcribe it. Obviously it’ll be a few weeks before we know how accurate some of the info out there is, but I’ve come across some pretty big storylines/spoilers without looking that hard. If it’s in anyway accurate it’ll definitely be an amazing game though!!0
