It appears that the hacker responsible for the GTA 6 leak has been caught. London police have announced the arrest of a person suspected of hacking Rockstar Games servers. He is a 17-year-old, presumably from the Lapsus $ cybercriminal organization.

It was previously reported that the person responsible for the latest loss of GTA 6’s early materials was supposed to be a 16-year-old. The FBI began their research, and as you can see, the results appeared quickly. We are not 100% sure that we are talking about the same person, but the same age and place of residence are correct.

As we read in a tweet shared by a verified account of the London police, the arrest took place on the evening of 22 September. The teenager was arrested following an investigation by the British cyber police unit known as the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU).

The arrested person could in fact be a member of the Lapsus $ group. In March of this year, the London police have already arrested several members of this organization. At that time it was about hacking several tech giants, including Microsoft, Nvidia, Ubisoft, and recently we also learned about the attack on Uber. Lapsus $ is also suspected of acting in this case, especially considering a similar issue.

Uber officials say Lapsus $ is behind the attack. If the group is still active despite the arrests in March, the teenager mentioned earlier may have been a member. Who knows if there are no more British teenagers who will do more attacks. Anything is possible now, the question is who will be next.
