The infamous GTA 6 hacker, Arion Kurtaj, has resurfaced.
In 2022, Kurtaj, using the handle teapotuberhacker and part of the hacker group Lapsus$, leaked 90 videos showing 50 minutes of GTA 6 WIP footage. Kurtaj and Lapsus$ are part of a broader tech hack, including Microsoft, Nvidia, and Samsung.
In 2023, Kurtaj was found unfit to stand trial and is currently in an indefinite hospital order. Before his arrest, he claimed to have acquired and sold GTA 6’s source code to a third party.
That takes us to today’s update from videotechuk:
Now it’s slowly spreading: Arion Kurtaj (the infamous 2022 Grand Theft Auto VI leaker) has allegedly smuggled a phone into a UK prison.
While I won’t share screenshots of the WhatsApp chats (I’m sure they’ll appear soon), Arion appeared surprised that the source code for Grand Theft Auto VI did not leak and seemed to imply that the source code may potentially be in the hands of someone.
He also shared evidence of Kurtaj’s text conversation and photos as proof it is him.
Rockstar needs to trace it if the source code leaked, but we have to be wary of Kurtaj’s claims too.
