"GTA 6 Hacker's Release Raises Concerns of Continued Criminal Activity"

An 18-year-old hacker, Arion Kurtaj, who caused £7 million of damage to the firm behind Grand Theft Auto, has been convicted of multiple offenses and has expressed his intention to return to a life of crime after his release from jail. Kurtaj, a member of the Lapsus$ cyber-crime group, stole code and video footage from Rockstar's development of GTA VI and blackmailed telecoms firm BT/EE for a £3.19 million ransom. He also hacked computer chip maker NVIDIA, Uber, and online bank Revolut. A psychiatrist confirmed that Kurtaj is highly motivated to continue offending. The sentencing hearing is ongoing, with Kurtaj expected to be detained under the Mental Health Act.
