Fortunately, the hacker was quickly tracked down and arrested, per a UK Police report. The City of London Police on Sunday said that the 17-year-old arrested individual had now been charged with two counts of breach of bail conditions and two counts of computer misuse.

The hacker appeared at Highbury Corner Youth Court on Saturday, September 24. Journalist Matthew Keys shed more light with regards to the arrest, confirming the arrest was related to the Rockstar and Uber leaks.

UPDATE: I've confirmed the 17-year-old arrested in Oxfordshire for the cyber attack on Rockstar and Uber is the same teenager that was arrested earlier this year for hacking Microsoft and Nvidia. The teen associates with a group called "Lapsus$." Additional arrests expected.
