Gerard Neveu, the producer of the Le Mans 24 Virtual and the former CEO of the FIA World Endurance Championship, attributed the breach to competitors unwittingly sharing IP addresses publicly:

24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual red flags caused by the sharing of IP addresses

Following two race stoppages during the opening section of the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual, Executive Producer Gรฉrard Neveu clarifies what happened.

The biggest racing controversy over the weekend was during the Le Mans 24 Virtual, when a security breach of the #rFactor2 servers led to a number of competitors being disconnected from the virtual endurance event.

One of them was Team Redline, the car that Max Verstappen was part of, which led to Verstappen quitting the virtual event with 5 hours to go. Verstappen blasted the debacle as a "clown show".
