In connection with the current GTA 6 and Uber data breaches, UK police have stated that they have charged the 17-year-old teen who was arrested as a suspect of hacking. Authorities have posted an update on the GTA 6 hacker who is now charged with violation of bail and computer misuse.

Moreover, any further details of the youngster’s arrest for hacking have not been made public by police departments, but journalist Matthew Keys has received confirmation from officials that the teen was really the one who carried out the attacks. The hacker is said to go by the initials “A.K.” due to his age and was detained in connection with the GTA 6 attack as well as a second on Uber.

According to a police source with insight into the case, A.K. is also suspected of being the brains behind a cyberattack on Uber in which he is reported to have gotten a firm’s access details in order to get into some of the operations the business employed.

Within a week of noticing parallels between the Rockstar and Uber hacks and a number of other cyber breaches that happened throughout last year, along with the theft of data from tech giants Microsoft, and Nvidia, authorities centered on A.K. as a strong suspicion.

The same hacker is said to have been arrested before in 2021, but due to his age, he was released on bail and had his internet access shut off for a month. . A.K. has now been accused by the prosecution of two charges of violating his bail as well as two counts of breaking British legislation against computer misuse. He was charged in court and is likely to stay in police custody.

It is indeed unknown if A.K. was successful in selling the source code that he had offered to sell. Despite the fact that certain buyers assert they were conned out of a few BTC valued at about five figures in USD.

According to Mathew’s law enforcement source, at least two more persons are suspected of being involved in the attacks on Rockstar and Uber, and further arrests are imminent. Authorities have confirmed that A.K. would appear at Highbury Corner Youth Court; let us wait and see what happens next.
