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.
To people detaining him against his will, not to the public.
Most people are able to restrain themselves from physically attacking people in those circumstances. Why is it okay to try to beat up people when you’re being lawfully detained? Even the countries that recognize prisoners having a “right to attempt escape” still charge them with whatever crimes they did in the course of attempting to escape, such as assaulting guards.
