I'm confused. This kid was arrested for hacking Rockstar and downloading and sharing 90 video clips of the unreleased GTA6, but this source code leak is GTA5, and the full leak is 1TB in size. He was in police custody in a hotel during the time of his 90 clip GTA6 hack. That's a lot of space for a smartphone and fire stick.

There are 3 leaks in circulation:

3.3 gigs, src only

17 gigs, src + partial assets

1 TB, src + full assets

How are we certain this kid was behind the GTA5 source leak, because these sources don't claim that. It's possible that he passed the info on to Lapsu$ members but unless you have another source, this kid wasn't the leaker of the GTA5 leak.

A smartphone is just a gateway to a VM with unlimited storage and processing power.

you know that's a really great point. I had assumed they would make sure he didn't have a credit card or monitor it etc but you can buy whatever amount of VPS or dedi storage you want with crypto. I'm sure he had knowledge of DNS exfil paid hotspot bypass etc to get past any Wi-Fi blocks, or just crack the password for any nearby hotel occupant hotspots if he wasn't allowed internet access per his detainment.

My thought was he probably gave the initial foothold info to other lapsus members and they took it from there but you're right he absolutely could have done at all himself.

i'm guessing that whoever leaked the source code didn't include the assets cause you can easily extract them directly from the game.

The full source with assets included is what was leaked, that was my point. It's 1TB. The leaker also made 2 other versions for people who don't want to download 1TB since a lot of people don't have that much spare space lying around for a copy of a games source.
