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.
Life? That’s bonkers. For leaking GTA crap? Egad.
Guess a billion dollar company bought the legal system…
Rockstar: ‘Lock him up and throw away the key. Also, play our game and go shoot some civilians, cops, and feds in a hacker terrorist bank heist online with friends!’
The use of “for life” here is extremely misleading and rage baiting.
He’s not been imprisoned “for life”. He’s been out in a hospital until deemed fit for release. Because he’s literally destroying shit and hurting people.

That’s a new description of Nvidia
That’s what Jensen calls it
Is this real life or did I not wake up?
Not what happened.
