According to the BBC, 17-year-old hacker Arion Kurtaj is in the UK** and has been sentenced to prison care. Kurtaj, a member of the international hacker group LAPSU$, hacked into the GTA 6 source** from R-Star and stole several clips of the game. Kurtaj did not appear in court because he has autism.

The jury was told that despite this, he continued the invasion operation while he was on bail for hacking companies such as Nvidia. He used devices such as Amazon firesticks, hotel TVs, and cell phones to successfully hack the R-Star company and steal 90 unreleased GTA 6 clips.

At the sentencing hearing, the defense team argued that "the success of the game's trailer shows that Kurtaj's hacking did not cause serious harm to the game developer" and demanded that this be taken into account in sentencing. However, the judge said that "Kurtaj's skills and desire to continue committing cybercrime means that he remains a high-risk person to the public." "Unless doctors don't think he's dangerous, he'll stay in a safe hospital for the rest of his life.

The report also mentions that during the sentencing hearing, the "success of the game trailer" also became an argument for the defense team. But in the end, the court sentenced Kurtaj to a lifetime hospital stay.
