The culprit behind the GTA 6 leaks has reportedly been found and arrested. According to the first information from the authorities, it should actually be a very young person.
New twist in the GTA 6 leak case. While the FBI is actively investigating the intruders at Uber and Rockstar, the City of London authorities may have arrested the author of the biggest leak in the history of the game video.
GTA 6 leaker is said to have been arrested
Caught! Less than a week after the GTA 6 leaks were published, the alleged perpetrator of the Rockstar server hack was arrested. In a tweet published at 2pm this Friday September 23, London police claim to have arrested a 17-year-old individual matching his profile. He is suspected of being involved in a hacking affair and was arrested with the help of the NCA. However, Uber, another major victim of this person, had announced in its press release that it was working closely with the FBI and NCA (National Crime Agency).
If the authorities have not yet confirmed anything, several famous British journalists claim that it is indeed the hack of GTA 6. Matthew Keys, a reliable source in the tech world, confirms that it is indeed the hacker involved in Rockstar deals. BBC cyber reporter Joe Tidy also said: It’s really very important. We cannot say why due to restrictions… I am still consulting the BBC legal team, more than what has been said here we cannot say.
According to the latest information in the case, he would be one of the leaders of the group of Lapsus$ cybercriminals. He would have amassed more than 12 million dollars by hacking various big names in tech. These include Microsoft, Ubisoft, Nvidia and even Samsung. However, to be on the safe side, we have to wait for confirmation from the British authorities.
