Grand Theft Auto Theft - A Warning, Surely?
A warning that if you run a very valuable software-development company, or otherwise hold very valuable or sensitive information on computers; you do NOT do so on computers linked to the Internet?
Or at least, you connect your company computers by an internal server protected by a very powerful fire-wall between it and the public service.
I do not have any connection with the creators of 'Grand Theft Auto' - I do not play computer games at all anyway - but I do hope the authorities can catch the scum who stole their intellectual-property. The same gang has also claimed to be responsible for the recent attack on the Uber taxi company.
Really, the uniformity required at system level for the Internet, and the world-wide monopoly of Microsoft, has made life too easy for the "professional" IT-attack gangs (some of them State-run); but that ought also facilitate tracing them.

And although there is a serious hazard in doing so, obvious by simple thought, for the social-media site owners to identify and fully block the sources of wrongful intent, not just remove the posts.
