In those cases, it's unlikely they can do anything to your internet like shutting it down or overloading it. Now, granted - a lot of these so-called 'hackers' are just players with a paid mod-menu using its functionality to grab something that Rockstar hasn't concealed well at all. It's easier to cheat in this triple-A goliath than it ever was on Club Penguin. GTA Online is a fun sandbox that is continuously being ripped apart by a toxic set of players on a virtual power trip, and this can take the shape of mass-murdering servers for no reason, vendettas against a singular person with god-mode, broken weapons, and infinite ammo, or even sliding into the chat to spew some shit before dropping a player's IP and location saying, "I know where you live." The problem is real - it's not a blown-out-of-proportion-on-social-media scenario. In that gap, I had read a lot on Reddit, Twitter, and other forums about hackers grabbing players' IPs, doxxing them, or threatening them. We booted into heists, CEO deliveries, motorcycle club shenanigans, and some free-roaming fun. I promptly closed the game, uninstalled it, and said a profound, "Fuck that." But, jump ahead to 2021, and there I am getting back into it with the same buds I did when I first played it, this time with a new character - I'm not too sure where my old one went. Fine, I'll enable Passive Mode so that other players won't PvP me, hacker or otherwise. I was blown up - again, and again, and again, and again, in my own apartment. I loaded into my apartment, a character I hadn't played in a good three years, and I was in the mood to do some races, maybe a heist, or just some free-roaming with my decent, not-great cars. To put it into perspective: a year ago, I decided to try and get back into GTA Online.
In a few clicks, I found a menu for only $30 - it's that simple to get started, or you can jump into one of many hacker threads or Discord servers to slide them some money for a quick in-game buck.
GTA Online is notorious for its hacker problem, with mod menus readily available for the right price, lobbies filled to the brim with cheaters, and lackluster security that's a tad worrying, to say the least.
