Police have arrested a 17-year-old on suspicion of hacking amid the recent GTA VI leak.

City of London Police say the teenager is from Oxfordshire and has was detained on Thursday evening (22 September).

The teenager remains in custody.

Police have been investigating the 'Lapsus$' hacking group, Reuters reports. Uber Technologies said the group was responsible for a hack on the ride-sharing app, while an Uber hacker is also rumoured to be behind the GTA leak, though police have not confirmed if the arrest was related to that investigation.
