This channel's proprietor also recognized the efforts of Arion Kurtaj, alias 'teapotuberhacker,' associated with Lapsus$ for leaking pre-release content of Grand Theft Auto 6. Notably, Kurtaj has recently been mandated an indefinite hospitalization by a UK court due to his involvement in the Rockstar and Uber hacks.

In 2022, the Lapsus$ group became known for its breach of Rockstar Games, infiltrating the company's internal Slack server and Confluence wiki. The hackers claimed they extracted source code and assets for both GTA 5 and GTA 6, including a GTA 6 testing build. This stolen content, including samples of GTA 5 source code, was later leaked on various forums and Telegram.

The security research group vx-underground communicated with the individual responsible for the leak on Discord, who alleged an early leak to counter scams in the GTA V modding community. Many individuals were reportedly misled by false claims of access to the GTA V source code.

Lapsus$ is known for its proficiency in social engineering and SIM swapping attacks to penetrate corporate networks. They targeted several high-profile companies, including Uber, Microsoft, Okta, Nvidia, T-Mobile, Ubisoft, Vodafone, and Samsung, often attempting extortion to prevent the release of stolen data like source code and customer information.

Following the arrest of some of its members, Lapsus$ has seen reduced activity. However, reports indicate that remaining members may be collaborating with Scattered Spider, a hacking collective employing similar methods such as social engineering, phishing, MFA fatigue, and SIM swapping to access networks of notable organizations.
