FBI is currently investigating GTA 6 and Uber hacker

The individual responsible for the hack may have been also responsible for the recent hack of Uber's servers. According to an Uber newsletter, the same individual hacked several other tech companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Samsung, Nvidia, and Okta. Uber has stated that they are in close coordination with the FBI and the Department of Justice on the matter.

There is also new information regarding the identity of the individual responsible for the GTA 6 hack. A huge "minor" problem Uber, reportedly the previous target of the hacker, is closely coordinating with the FBI and DOJ.

The identity of the individual behind the recent spate of hacks may have been revealed by pompompurin, admin of the popular hacking forum Breached. According to pompompurin, the alleged culprit is a 16-year-old hacker with a history of being arrested for similar crimes. The hacker goes by the moniker "White" online.

White is believed to be from the United Kingdom and is affiliated with the Lapsus$, a popular group of hackers specializing in ransomware. Earlier this year, authorities allegedly arrested the individual for his affiliation to Lapsus$ and other crimes, and he received a one-month internet ban, as he is a minor.

White's identity was doxed on a hacking website after he had a falling out with a business partner. His name, address, and social media photos were revealed by his former business partner according to a BBC article from April 2022.

According to the article, White had accumulated 300BTC (approximately $14 million) through his hacking exploits. Bloomberg also reported that cybersecurity researchers have been tracking White for over a year and linked him to the cyber-criminal gang Lapsus$.

According to Allison Nixon, chief research officer at cyber-security investigation company Unit 221B, "we've had his name since the middle of last year and we identified him before the doxing."
