Reminding you of the truth is probably useless as the event shakes the Internet. Let’s equally highlight the speed with which the FBI tracked down the hacker who hacked Rockstar, thus causing the biggest leak in video game history. This is a big hunt for the American administration, since this 17-year-old is behind the hacks of Uber and Microsoft, a priori, not on his first try.
At least, that’s what everyone thought before he made it to Highbury Corner Youth Court over the weekend. Indeed, facing numerous charges from the authorities, the teenager pleaded not guilty to the Rockstar hack. Specifically, he claims not to use his computer for malicious purposes.
Rockstar Hacker May Not Be Who You Think
‘The 17-year-old seen at Highbury Corner Juvenile Court on September 24 was found guilty of bail violation and pleaded not guilty to computer misuse’, Detective Inspector Michael O’Sullivan explained. At this time, we do not know what these conditions of release were or what crime the accused committed.
Following this statement, the young man was transferred to a minors detention center for trial. Despite declaring his innocence, the teenager is suspected of being an active member of the Lapsus$ hacker collective and participating in numerous large-scale cyber attacks, including GTA 6. According to BBC News, these attacks would have earned those involved several million euros.
