The 17-year-old suspect is believed to be liked to the notorious hacking group Lapsus$, having obtained over an hour of in-development footage of GTA 6 prior to Rockstar showing off the game to the public for the first time.
The teen is also believed to have been involved in a group that hacked companies such as Microsoft and Nvidia , and made headlines in March when they were just 16.
Rockstar Games has only confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is in development, and a release date has yet to be announced.
