The 18-year-old Lapsus$ hacker who played a critical role in leaking Grand Theft Auto VI footage has been sentenced to life inside a hospital prison, according to a report from the BBC. A British judge ruled on Thursday that Arion Kurtaj is a high risk to the public because he still wants to commit cybercrimes.
In August, a London jury found that Kurtaj carried out cyberattacks against GTA VI developer Rockstar Games and other companies, including Uber and Nvidia. However, since Kurtaj has autism and was deemed unfit to stand trial, the jury was asked to determine whether he committed the acts in question, not whether he did so with criminal intent.
The dude hacked Rockstar while in police custody for hacking other companies. They were transporting him and stopped for the night. They locked him inside a hotel room after clearing out anything that he could potentially use to hack. But they missed an Amazon Firestick in the back of the TV. Using that and his room phone, he hacked Rockstar, then when he was caught he told police he’ll do it again as soon as he’s released.
Yeah, the dude is compulsive. It’s an obsession for him.
But think of the talent…the potential
Yeah isn’t this the part of the movie where he gets recruited from jail by James Bond or something? That’s literally a plot point in at least one Mission Impossible movie, isn’t it? Lol
Or he could be one of those one episode villains
They won’t be able to stop him. He literally needs that cube they put magneto in.
This sounds like something out of a movie plot holy cow
Huh? I heard he bought it from a local store (he was unattended) along with a cell phone, not that it was already the the room?
