Verified Apps
With the warm reception for our new VerifiedApps database, Jonah decided to see how hard it would be to make an actual app to go with it. As it turns out, it just might be doable. The app itself should be considered pre-release and not ready for general use, but if you want to help test it out and report any issues, please do!

Grand Theft Auto V cheat service gets hacked, exposing thousands of gamers
Atlas Menu, a cheat service for Grand Theft Auto's online mode, has suffered a data breach exposing the email addresses, usernames, hashed passwords, IP addresses, and support tickets of almost 64,000 accounts. Cheating in online games can be a huge source of frustration for both professional and casual gamers alike. Atlas Menu did not respond to requests for comment.
