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.
Dude’s unfit to stand trial.
He’s unfit to stand trial, but he’s not unfit enough to continue to commit the crimes he’s been committing.
Again, just because nobody else seems to be bringing it up, *he was already out on bail for cybercrimes when he hacked Rockstar. *
Dude’s unfit to be loose in society. Doesn’t leave a lot of options.
I dunno, he’s seem to do pretty good things thus far.
But that’s just my independent viewpoint.
I couldn’t care less about the stuff he’s breaking (so far at least), it’s moreso the breaking part that concerns me. Like, this doesn’t sound like someone following a deeply held belief and breaking property as a way to fight corporations. It’s someone having a temper tantrum.
Article says he’s been breaking stuff and hurting people while in custody. This isn’t just about GTA.
Good call. Life in a psyche ward.
Until he stops hurting people. Criminy, is nobody reading more than just the headline?
Nope
