The War Thunder Community Is In Chaos Over Allegations Of Stolen Data And Classified Documents

War Thunder players and hackers are accusing Gaijin Entertainment of two separate issues: intrusive anti-cheat data collection and the use of restricted or classified military documents.

A hacker claim linked the controversy to backlash over Viking AC, which players say may access personal files and screenshots.

Gaijin denies both allegations, saying its anti-cheat only processes the data needed to stop cheating and that it did not use classified or export-restricted documents.

The dispute has intensified privacy concerns around anti-cheat software and raised legal and ethical questions about sensitive government materials in game development.
