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.
He has a disability/issues that he was sentenced to a hospital for, he can be released if he is deemed not a danger to himself or others, he was also physically violent apparently and they are giving him treatment in a secure setting. I don’t know if the place he is going is good or anything about the treatment but it’s not exactly a prison life sentence.
