According to the statement shared by Uber, the hacker who hacked themselves is also held responsible for the hacking of Rockstar Games. Moreover, this hacker was reported to be a member of the Lapsus$ group. While this is currently uncertain information, it has been reported that the FBI has taken action against the hacker group with the following words:
“Over the weekend, there have also been reports of the same group violating video game maker Rockstar Games. We are in close coordination with the FBI and the US Department of Justice on this issue and will continue to support their efforts.”
What is the Lapsus$ hacker group? Its leader is just a 16-year-old teenager!
Lapsus$ has made a name for itself in recent months. The group has been held responsible for the following cybercrimes to date:
- Leaking NVIDIA’s source code, hijacking employee information.
- Leaking of Microsoft’s 37GB source code.
- Leaking Samsung company data and source codes of Galaxy phones.
- Internal cybersecurity case at Ubisoft.
- 55 GB of data stolen from Cisco.
- Stealing 70 GB of data from Globant.
- Access to T-Mobile systems.
The hacker group that caused all these giant leaks comes to the fore with one feature: The leader of the group, which caused tens of millions of dollars in damage, is thought to be only a 16-year-old teenager. London police arrested a total of 7 young people aged between 16-21, with information obtained from rival hackers. The information about whether the 16-year-old is really the leader was not shared.
In addition to all this, the boy’s father spoke to the BBC at that time and stated that his child did not provide him with any information about hacking and hacking, but that he was quite good at computers and spent a lot of time on the computer. Other shared information included that the child was autistic and was educated at a private school in London. The hacker is often nicknamed ‘White’ or ‘Breachbase’ on the internet.
