The hack cost Rockstar Games $5 million.

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.

      You never removed the one that is lying about abuse that never happened. You only removed mine where I pointed out there was no evidence. The reason given : “trolling”. So it’s trolling now to stick to the facts?

        You’re only proving the mods point by continuing to whinge about it. Move on.

          I see, so if I state something as fact even though it isn’t, in the “news” community of all places, that’s not considered rule breaking? But my comment that pointed out that lie is infact rule breaking because I didn’t do it in a friendlier manner. Is that correct?
