If you thought the story of the hacker responsible for leaking GTA 6 footage ended with his arrest, you are very wrong. There is still a long road ahead for this teenager. According to a report by Bloomberg Law, the 17-year-old appeared at a specialist London youth court.

As you may know, he is currently facing charges of breach of bail conditions and two counts of computer misuse. The report also notes that prosecutor Valerie Benjamin said in court that the suspect had used a phone to hack into companies and was “holding them to ransom” to gain access to illegally obtained software.

However, the young man pleaded not guilty and denied using his phone as a tool to gain access to Rockstar’s private files and servers, however, he pleaded guilty to a separate charge of breaching his bail conditions.

What will happen next?

For now, the judge has referred the case to a higher court where it’ll be heard at a later date. Actually, journalist Matthew Keys informed The Desk that the teenager is being charged with both GTA and Uber hacks which may explain the judge's decision.

As we already know, the defendant is being linked with the hacking group Lapsus$ and was reportedly arrested earlier this year for hacking Microsoft and Nvidia. For now, we can only wait to see how this case will unfold in the coming days.
