Romance around the leak GTA 6 far from complete. as assembled Eurogamer, The FBI joined the investigation into the incident.. This is because the attack on Rockstar Games was carried out by the same hacker who used Uber a few days ago. As the last major technology company in the US, the FBI wasn’t about to ignore it.
We must remember that there are two ways to link a hacker to both attacks. Firstly, it was he himself, through GTA Forums, who claimed that he hacked Uber in the same publication where he shared the video. GTA 6. Moreover, last Monday the popular group breaking revealed the backstory of the cybercriminal, mentioning that he is a teenager from the United Kingdom and that he had previously attacked a transport service.
Another important point: apparently he is the leader of LAPSUS$cybercriminal organization that caused headaches for several companies big technology; including Microsoft, Samsung and Nvidia. Uber’s investigation also led them in the same direction:
“We believe that these attackers are connected to a hacker group called LAPSUS$, which has been growing in activity over the past year. This group usually uses similar methods to attack technology companies, and it was only in 2022 that they violated the rules of Microsoft, Cisco, Samsung. , Nvidia and Okta, among others.”
Uber.
filtration GTA 6 reached a new dimension
The most interesting thing is that Uber repeated the Rockstar Games hack and subsequent leak GTA 6, which, quite possibly, are associated with the same responsible person. They also mention that they coordination with the FBI:
“Reports also surfaced over the weekend that video game maker Rockstar Games was raped by the same actor. We are working closely with the FBI and the US Department of Justice on this matter and will continue to support their efforts.”
It should be noted that although the development GTA 6 takes place in Rockstar North, located in Edinburgh (Scotland), the Rockstar Games hack is also the responsibility of the US authorities. Why? Because the company is behind GTA 6 has a social platform – Rockstar Games Social Club – with users from all over the world.
Actually, Take-Two interactivethe owner of Rockstar Games, was forced to inform the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) that user data was not at risk after the hack.
“Rockstar Games recently experienced a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party illegally accessed and downloaded sensitive information from their systems, including early development materials for an upcoming game. Grand Theft Auto. Current Rockstar Games services are not affected. We have already taken steps to isolate and contain this incident.”
So the hacker who leaked GTA 6 He already has the look of one of the most important security organizations in the North American country.
