Looks like the hacker who leaked the GTA 6 material has been arrested – this is a 17-year-old boy

No official information has yet been received as to whether the attacker is involved in the recent escape.

Last week a hacker under the pseudonym teapotuberhacker was staged massive loss material from an early version of Grand Theft Auto 6. It posted videos, screenshots, and even part of the source code, which caused a huge buzz. Subsequently suggested the attacker Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games agreed, but the companies didn’t seem to agree to a deal, but they decided to identify the hacker. This conclusion emerges from the recent arrest of a suspect of computer piracy.

Reporter Matthew Case reported a personal account in Twitterthat British police arrested a 17-year-old boy in Oxfordshire, a county in southern England. The BBC portal claimed he was suspected of hacking. Subsequently, this information was confirmed by members of law enforcement, but without details.

However, Case shared the details with reference to his own source. The boy is suspected of the recent Rockstar Games and Uber hacks. Apparently, he is associated with the Lapsus $ group, which has been named responsible for recent hacker incidents. The fact that there is a person behind the data theft of two companies was reported soon after the publication of the materials of an early version of GTA 6.

Official details of the arrest are expected to appear soon. Police promised to share information about the suspect’s arrest in the near future.

  • At first, GTA 6 will be moderately large in size, but they plan to expand it via updates in the future. The developers presumably want to change and integrate the game by analogy with Fortnite.
