Two teenagers in the United Kingdom were convicted of being part of a hacker group that leaked preliminary footage of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto game and broke into Uber user data.
Arion Kurtaj, 18, and an unidentified 17-year-old teenager were convicted of several computer-related crimes, according to Bloomberg. The charges include serious computer misuse, blackmail, and fraud against the chip developer Nvidia.Kurtaj was charged with hacking into Uber, GTA developer Rockstar Games, and the financial technology firm Revolut. The 17-year-old was accused of hacking, fraud, and blackmail against Nvidia.
The pair are believed to be part of the hacker group Lapsus$. The hacker group has been behind many hacker attacks in the last two years, including taking down the Ministry of Health of Brazil website, stealing the credentials of more than 70,000 Nvidia employees, and posting the source code of Samsung smartphones.Rockstar confirmed in September 2022 that it had been hacked after multiple clips from Grand Theft Auto 6 were released online.
The ridesharing service also reported a hack in September 2022, in which a teenager got away with 57 million rider and driver records from Uber's internal records.
