Sony takes responsibility for GTA5 leaks, Rockstar responds
PlayStation Social Media Manager Sid Shuman stated that the pre-order file has since been removed and apologized to "Rockstar and GTA fans across the world who were exposed to the spoiler content."
Rockstar's statement on a Rockstar Newswire post explained it was "deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game's launch. GTA5 represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn't be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17."
Rockstar also took the opportunity to remind Social Club community members that anyone discussing spoilers or misinformation would "have commenting privileges revoked until well after the game's release." It's nice to see Rockstar committing to providing a spoiler-free place to anticipate GTA5, but we all know how the internet handles popular media. If you're hoping to keep the game's surprises intact, consider avoiding social media until the game's September 17 release.

KatsumiAmonAmpz It was more than wrong of them to do it, if Rockstar didn't want the information released then it shouldn't of been.
A sorry isn't enough in my book.
i agree. sony should pay them money for leaking content.
I doubt that they will be charged money for leaking the content. I could see Rockstar favoring Microsoft over them now though
As much as you hope rstar favors microsoft it wont happen.

RepOseSS3d-KillRbyLeon OMG you people make me sick sony didnt get hacked they were being nice and allowed a pre-load which enables you to download the game prior to the release date so it wont take so long i hope who ever did this gets punished
That's not what happened. At all.
Yes it is, Sony allowed users to preload the game early. Some users then decoded the security, and got access to the files. Same thing would have happened if xbox allowed users to preload.

Feels Surprise surprise, Sony getting hacked.
... and people question why I'm getting an Xbox One.
Sony was never really hacked, They allowed users to preload the game. Users then took advantage of this and decoded most of the files. The same thing would have happened on xbox.
