Teenager involved with hack which led to GTA 6 leak, court finds

GTA 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X

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 6 appearing online in September 2022.

As reported by the BBC, Arion Kurtaj was previously deemed not fit to stand trial by psychiatrists, so he did not appear in court.

The Independent reports that the two were described as “key players” in the Lapsus$ group by the prosecution.
