In September 2022, a massive leak of videos and information about GTA 6 o Grand Theft Auto VI It began to circulate on the internet thanks to a hacker who stole it from a Rockstar Games server. The culprit turned out to be a 17-year-old teenager who was arrested a few days later in Oxfordshire, England.
Now that he has turned 18, we know that the young man in question is called Arion Kurtaj and that he is on the autism spectrum. A few months ago we learned that he would not face a trial because the court did not find him “fit”, but it was determined that his case would be analyzed by a jury.
On December 21, 2023, the BBC reported that The jury determined that this hacker, a member of the digital crimes group Lapsus$, is guilty of having leaked information about the game GTA 6, other crimes y sentenced him to spend his life in a hospital until his doctor determines that he is no longer a danger to society.
Isn’t that a high punishment for a hacker, especially an autistic one? Some of you may be wondering. An analysis of his mental health would have determined that Kurtaj “wanted to continue committing crimes through the Internet” and that “he was highly motivated to do so.”. That, combined with his great skills, convinced the judge and jurors that the young man is dangerous.
Kurtaj may be released if a new examination of his mental health determines any improvement. The doctors would have to be convinced that she would not try to commit any more crimes. If not, the so-called ‘hacker’ GTA 6
