City of London police, supported by the National Crime Agency's cyber crime unit, have detained a 17 year old male from Oxfordshire, United Kingdom over what appears to be an investigation regarding the recent and monumental Rockstar Games leaks of last week as well as other hacking attempts possibly related to Uber Technologies.

Rumours circulating on Twitter suggest he was operating as part of the hacking group Lapsus$. He remains in police custody at this time.

More details are expected to be released by the police or possibly FBI later today.

Valve probably would have. Rockstar, I dunno. They'll probably tie him to a chair and shock his balls.

Lots of people mocking the UK police for this but it isn't their fault.

Police in the UK have to make regular arrests. If they don't, their moustaches begin to shrink and this signals to the other police that they're weaker. Runts that fall too far behind are cannibalised and their skeletons are hung from London Bridge where tourists and urchins can throw stones at them.

So before you meme on our police force maybe read a god damn book.

He haven't even uploaded the source leaks he supposedly had, also can't cover his steps, what a lammer.

Honestly doesn't deserve anything more than a slap on the wrist. The majority of the blame falls on Rockstar for failing to secure their shit.

Even governments can't secure their shit. Getting hacked is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. Although it's totally possible he exploited some massive security failure on their part, it's also possible that he's a talented hacker that found a clever exploit. Unfortunately, offense has a massive advantage over defense in cybersecurity and there are no signs of that changing any time soon.

The Texas school shooter doesn't deserve anything more than a slap on the wrist. The majority of the blame falls on the kids for not wearing their Stark Industries armor suits to class.

Give this kid a medal. All they did was prove Rockstar has piss poor policies and programs in place to help prevent this.

For real. Like GTA 5 has been out for 9 and a half years now and there has barely been any confirmation or anything about if the game was actually going to be released or not. Such a chad move.

[MariArch]

So he’s not going to release the gta5/6 source code + builds? Fucking loser

 

[sombrerosonic]

Na fam he has it all on 3,845,342 floppy disks and he selling it for 25 dollars

The code was probably destroyed after he was arrested

 

[vimmwii]

Just a stupid move for them, should have been more careful.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Guess if he was in them USA, Crapstar's or Take2Shits would've just directly sent assassins to take him out?
Iirc, they did send like some mobs to "warn" a guy making mods for GTA to, well, stop doing so?
Really classy corpo move.
