Uber’s UBER employees’ accounts were also compromised this week and it is believed to be done by hacking group Lapsus$, the company said, and it is suspected to be the same group behind Take-Two Interactive TTWO publishing label Rockstar breach.
We still don’t know until the official confirmation comes from the City of London Police, also if the teen is the same hacker then the identity may be anonymous because of the status minor.
