"Teen Arrested in UK, Reportedly in Connection With Rockstar Games Hack"

According to the City of London Police, London cops, assisted by the UK's National Cyber Crime Unit, arrested a 17-year-old living in Oxfordshire suspected to have been behind the Rockstar Games hack that leaked pre-release footage from the development of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) VI, a highly anticipated upcoming game. The hacker also threatened to leak the game's source code, assets, and testing builds. The hacker also claimed responsibility for the Uber hack, which involved access to the company's internal Slack and websites. Both London police and possibly the FBI are expected to offer more details. Not much more is confirmed about the person in custody, though previous reports from Bloomberg noted cybersecurity researchers tracked a string of hacks connected to the teen hacker group LAPSUS$ to a then-16-year-old living in a house near Oxford in the UK. The UK teenager was also suspected of having been connected with a fellow young person in Brazil. This article continues to discuss UK cybercrime officers announcing that they assisted in the arrest of a teen from Oxfordshire, who is said to have connections with LAPSUS$, and had been behind the recent Rockstar Games hack.
