GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated titles and, although Rockstar has already announced that the game is in development, it has not revealed any new details about it in the past period.

The developer and publisher's failure to disclose the game led one of the teenagers to hack into the developer's servers and gain access to a lot of confidential data, including, according to some reports, the game's source code. The matter did not stop there, as this hacker took the initiative to send an email to Rockstar employees blackmailing them by publishing game data on the Internet.

According to a new report published by Reuters news network, the hacker named Court of Arion He is a teenager from the popular Lapsus$ team who was found guilty of the charges against him. He now faces 12 charges, including three counts of racketeering, two counts of fraud and six counts of computer misuse in the UK.

In addition to the Rockstar hacking and extortion, other extortion charges have been filed against Cortag, accompanied by his unnamed 17-year-old friend, including threatening and extorting major companies, notably Revolut, Uber, Nvidia, and British Internet and communications giant BT Group, and demanding a ransom of US$1.4 million.

Kortag's mental health has been assessed by doctors as unfit to stand trial, so the jury will determine whether he committed the alleged acts rather than returning a guilty or not guilty verdict. Siddiqui, 17, will be charged with two counts of racketeering, two counts of fraud and three counts of the law. The computer misuse is linked to the hacking of BT and Nvidia, which he denies.

It is reported that in the year 2022, Rockstar was subjected to a breach that may be the most dangerous and largest in the history of the video game industry. Where the hacker managed to access many confidential files and data related to Rockstar's projects, including the game GTA 6, which saw the dissemination of more than 90 videos and files from an early version of the game.

Rockstar has tried hard, in cooperation with platforms and various legal entities, to remove this content from the Internet, but has been unable to remove it completely.

Although the hacker's name did not appear in the initial stages of the investigation and prosecution, Uber launched a joint investigation with the FBI from the very beginning of the hacking process, which concluded that the hacking I was exposed to was carried out by the same hacker who had previously worked at Rockstar. At that time, the hacker's data was accessed and British law enforcement quickly located and arrested him.

Court of Arion Reportedly an 18-year-old UK resident, he was arrested just hours after the Rockstar hack last year.

At that time, Cortag threatened to release a lot of confidential data related to Rockstar's past and future projects, but GTA 6 is the most prominent game, which witnessed the publication of many videos showing an early version of the game. While these leaks proved many rumors that emerged from various sources, mainly the presence of two heroes for the game, male and female, and the main location in which the events of the game will take place, which is Vice City.

Rockstar confirmed, days after these leaks, that it has managed to contain the matter, indicating that these leaks will not affect the development plan for the GTA 6 game and will not change any of the dates proposed within the internal plan.

Rockstar has yet to officially reveal GTA 6 gameplay as of writing this report, but there are expectations from prominent media professionals and analysts that the game will be revealed for the first time before the end of this year and released by the end of next year 2024.
