Either way, the underage hacker was charged with two counts of computer misuse just one day after the arrest was made. The teenager was supposedly located in cooperation with the FBI and the British Cyber Crime Unit, and he is presumably connected to the leaked GTA 6 gameplay videos, even though this has not been officially confirmed just yet. According to a report by The Desk, the London police recently announced via their official Twitter account that a 17-year-old teenager was arrested at his residence in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Just a few days later, the suspected GTA 6 leaker now has to deal with serious legal consequences.

The responsible hacker, who goes by the name 'teapotuberhacker', noted that he had stolen the gameplay videos from the internal Slack channel of developer Rockstar Games, to which he gained unauthorized access.

Among other things, these short video clips confirmed that the game will apparently be set in Vice City, and that players will be able to take control of a female protagonist. One week ago, the gaming community was thrown into turmoil when countless gameplay videos of the highly anticipated open-world title GTA 6 were leaked on social media.
