We are talking about the leak of a huge amount of data about GTA 6 that was unannounced at the time, including the gameplay of the project.
Kurtai, who was diagnosed with acute autism, was one of the leading members of the international hacker group Lapsus$, known for its attacks on major technology companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Uber and Rockstar Games.
Kurtai carried out a large-scale hack of Rockstar Games, despite being under police protection at the Travelodge hotel and having previously been arrested for an attack on NVIDIA.
Using an Amazon Firestick, a hotel television and a cell phone, he hacked into Rockstar’s internal Slack messaging system and threatened to make further statements unless the company contacted him.
Kurtai’s case was unique because he was deemed unfit to stand trial in a traditional trial due to his autism. Instead, the jury had to decide whether he was responsible for the attacks rather than assessing intent.
