As for last year’s leakers though, Kurtaj has been found liable for the leaks in court. Kurtaj operated as part of a hacking group called Lapsus$, and was responsible for several cyber-attacks on well-known companies, namely Nvidia.
The hacker apparently infiltrated Rockstar’s private Slack channels, gained access to several secret files onGTA VI,and posted a message saying: “I am not a Rockstar employee, I am an attacker … If Rockstar does not contact me on Telegram within 24 hours I will start releasing the source code.”
