GTA 6 Leak: Teenagers Found to Be Involved in Lapsus$ Hack Against Rockstar

A GTA 6 leaker just suffered the might of a Rockstar copyright claim, but the developer apparently forgot to take down one screenshot.

It's been 10 years already?!

Since its debut in 1997, the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series has become one of the world's most popular game franchises, with a player base of millions. It offers a unique open-world fast-paced gameplay that is filled with action, adventure, exploration, as well as RPG elements. While there have been 7 installments in the Grand Theft Auto series so far, none have captured the world's attention like the latest entry, GTA 5, which was released over a decade ago in 2013. Although it still remains ever-popular, players have long been asking Rockstar Games about Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6.

In a world where Hollywood often paints hackers as enigmatic figures equipped with sophisticated technology, the reality can sometimes be startlingly different. Instead of high-tech gadgets and fancy setups, a simple Amazon Fire TV stick, a smartphone, keyboard, and mouse were enough for Arion Kurtaj, a member of the hacking group Lapsus$, to leak videos from the highly anticipated game Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 6). Surprisingly, he accomplished this while staying in a UK hotel room. 

The teenagers who were part of an international cyber-crime gang were found responsible for a hacking spree, and will be sentenced at a later date.

An 18-year-old from Oxford, England, has been found to be part of a Lapsus$ group hacking spree by a court. The series of attacks affected a number of major companies, including Rockstar Games, which led to an enormous amount of leaked information about GTA 6appearing online in September 2022.

The teenager allegedly behind the GTA 6 leaks from last year was "caught red-handed" in a hotel room hacking into Rockstar after being banned from the internet due to his bail agreement, which resulted from him already being caught hacking into other major corporations.

A court in the UK has found that an 18-year-old from Oxford, Arion Kurtaj, was a part of the Lapsus$ hacking group responsible for hacking a range of tech firms including Nvidia and Rockstar Games. These intrusions resulted in a major leak of footage from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, a game that Rockstar has yet to officially unveil, and the court heard that Kurtaj leaked the clips from a Travelodge hotel while he was already on bail after being arrested for another hack.

The teenager suspected of hacking GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games last year was reportedly "caught red-handed" in a hotel room using an Amazon Fire Stick. 

While Marvel Comics fans eagerly await a certain web-slinging sequel from Insomniac Games, DC Comics fans are waiting to see what will be their next superhero game fix. After the trilogy featuring Batman ended in a not-so-good way, and the arrival of the “Knights” was middling at best, they need something to latch onto. It’s easy to forget that currently, a title by Monolith Productions and WB Games starring Wonder Woman is in the works. The title was announced back at The Game Awards in 2021, but we haven’t heard much about it since. However, that might have changed slightly.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was announced way back in February 2022—though there's been precious little information since then, bar a series of leaks later in the year. Rockstar Games itself has been hush-hush on the details, only really promising that it 'needs to be something you've never seen before'.
