A man who was found liable for multiple high-profile hacks including a major leak of Grand Theft Auto 6 footage in 2022 has reportedly been released from the secure hospital where he'd been held since 2023, and is now in prison awaiting a retrial.
Arion Kurtaj, who was 18 at the time, was found by a UK court to be part of the Lapsus$ hacking group that had carried out attacks on companies including BT, Uber, Nvidia, and mostly famously, Rockstar, which suffered what we called "one of the biggest leaks in videogame history": 90 Grand Theft Auto 6 videos of varying lengths were uploaded to the GTAForums fan site, more than a year before the first official GTA 6 trailer was released.
