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.
Yeah but it makes mega corporations look like the complete idiots that they actually are…the rich can’t have their stupidity on clear display like that so they need to punish whoever.
This isn’t about their shitty game anymore, they want to attempt to stop other smart individuals from again showing the world that this giant companies shouldn’t exist and how utterly pathetic they are when it comes to security
