Hacker behind GTA 6 leak will be confined to "a secure hospital for life" due to his "intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible"
Rockstar says the leak cost it $5 million

The 18-year-old hacker charged with breaking into Rockstar's data and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:leaking at least 90 videos worth of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 6 development materials has been sentenced by a UK court to indefinite life in a hospital pr🅺ison.
The reports that Arion Kurtaj, who's described as acutely autistic, "will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger." This is notably distinct from a sentence of life in prison – which doesn't always run until the actual end of one's life, either – but his sentence is still effectively indefinite. A mental health assessment noted that he "continued to express the inten💞t to return to cybercrime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated."
In July, Kurtaj was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:deemed psychiatrically unfit for trial, shifting th෴e jury's focus away from a s༒tandard verdict of guilty or not guilty, and toward determining whether the alleged hacks were actually committed.
Not a month later, we learned that Kurtaj's hack on Rockstar was carried out in a hotel room, well after his laptop was confiscated following a previous hack, 💧using an Amazon Firestick𓆏, a hotel TV, and a mobile phone. He was quickly re-arrested.
Kurtaj was accused alongside a 17-year-old member of the same hacking group, Lapsus$, who was likewise accused of blackmail, fraud, and charges under the Computer Misuse Act. Rockstar was far from Lapsus$'s only target, with Nvidia to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft to phone companies reporting hacks.
In addition to "thousands of hours of staff time," the BBC reports that Rockstar claimed the hack cost it ꦯ$5 million.
The GTA 6 reveal trailer ended up being leaked as well, just a day before its planned release.
