Teen GTA VI hacker sentenced to life in a secure hospital

AI summary of the linked article

Arion Kurtaj, an 18-year-old Lapsus$ hacker who helped leak Grand Theft Auto VI footage, has been sentenced to life in a secure hospital prison, according to a BBC report. A British judge ruled that Kurtaj remains a high risk to the public because he still wants to commit cybercrimes. A London jury had earlier found that he carried out cyberattacks against Rockstar Games, Uber and Nvidia, though he was deemed unfit to stand trial because he has autism. Kurtaj leaked 90 videos of GTA VI gameplay in September while on bail, and Rockstar Games said it spent $5 million recovering from the attack.
