Suspected GTA hacker teen held in youth detention centre after admitting breach of bail conditions, - but pleads not guilty to computer misuse
The 17-year-old suspect believed to behind the recent hack of Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games has pled not guilty to the charge of computer misuse.In a statement to Eurogamer this afternoon, the City of London Police's Cyber Crime Unit acknowledged the individual had appeared in court over the weekend - and was now being held at a youth detention centre.
Rockstar has only commented to confirm it suffered a"network intrusion" which had led to the leaked information being taken from its servers. The GTA maker said it was"extremely disappointed", but that there would be no"long-term effect" on development. No live services, such as Grand Theft Auto Online, were interrupted.
As for the suspect, it isn't the first time they have been in trouble with the law. Back in March, BBC News reported on the individual - then just 16 years old - under the headline"Oxford teen accused of being multi-millionaire cyber-criminal". The teen was one of seven arrested under suspicion of hacking other high-profile companies such as Microsoft, before bragging about it online.We want to make Eurogamer better, and that means better for our readers - not for algorithms.
