It’s not just GTA…
That was while he was already on bail for other offenses, and apparently he’s just flat out saying he’s going to keep doing it and nothing will stop him…
So, it’s not like there’s any other options.
I worked at a day program for people with autism and other issues, and there’s just some people with the right mix of symptoms and abilities, where they’re capable of doing incredibly harmful things, but just literally can’t understand why they shouldn’t and you just can’t explain it in a way they understand.
Which seems to be what’s going on here. Dude just refuses to stop and he’s going to do it again the second he’s able.
He pulled this off while under supervision of police while in a hotel. Nothing short of him being in a controlled environment 24/7 is going to prevent it.
Hopefully somebody can set up some CTF servers for him in the hospital. Taking away his ‘one thing’ forever seems inhumane to me.
Yeah, give him a closed network with obstacles to overcome, whenever he beats the latest one, set them up again.
I mean he’s probably not in a secure hospital and instead off working for the government
Has he done anything bad? Name one thing that he did that was somehow harmful to someone.
He had a negative impact on the shareholders. Oh no.
Wont somebody think of the shareholders!
Leaked personal details of employees?
not like there’s any other options
other than a life sentence?!?
how about any other sentence, and then see if he changes his mind after that?and he’s not some autistic super hacker, he just asked some dumb guy for the password…
Although he stayed at a hotel under police protection during this time, Kurtaj still managed to carry out an attack on Rockstar Games by using the room’s included Amazon Fire Stick and a “newly purchased smart phone, keyboard and mouse,” according to a separate BBC report.
Looks like they should hire him no?
5 millions loss for rockstar games, like is it even a lot for them?
They basically deemed him too autistic to be held responsible for his own actions. I am all for rehabilitation and channeling skills in good ways but you also need to trust them to act in their own interest which this guy don’t seem capable of.
Yeah I think I meant something like supervising him and seeing how he’s exploiting breach in order to patch it. But that doesn’t look as realistic now as it was in my head, who would hire him actually, you don’t know what would be his next target
“He’s required to stay in the hospital prison for life unless doctors determine that he’s no longer a danger.” Imagine taking the Hippocratic Oath and then getting a gig like this…
Maybe someone who understands better can explain, but isn’t “lifelong confinement” a bit harsh for what amounts to someone taking the loose change out of my sofa after entering without asking?
I’m aware of their status, I just think we should be past Bedlam by now.
He did this while out on bail for multiple other hacks and openly refuses to stop saying he’ll do it again as soon as he’s able…
But maybe 5-10 years from now he’s not as obsessed with hacking and is able to be released with conditions.
The article is pretty informative
Thanks for the explanation, I kind of skimmed the article. The verge always throws pop-ups and ads everywhere when I’m on my phone so I don’t really spend long whenever an article is linked.
I actually use Firefox with ublock but for some reason, certain websites just kind of half-work. Fanbase wiki pages are basically one centimeter of readable space between ads.
Does the job 97% of the time though. Guess I’ll have to upgrade or double up at least.
uBlock is great, just make sure to select and update filters lists.
To be fair though the article kind of sucks.
He’s not being held in a hospital for life, he’s being held indefinitely. Which is absolutely the correct decision considering his abilities and record of hacks
It likely will not be life but it is an indefinite severance until doctors believe he no longer is in danger of reoffending. This is actually pretty common in many countries in cases that are deemed to be do to insanity. Sometimes when medicated they can be out in a few years. Other times they may in institutionalized for life. It is not about punishment but about trying to rehabilitate and focusing on the right treatment till they think he is safe to be back in society.
Shit title for this article.
what are sentencing guidelines for child molestors?
yea throw away all that talent because he aint obedient enough
Like his character is locked in a hospital in the game, right? Right??
Blaming autism for a lack of regard for big corporations… Because corporations are always rational, reasonable, lawful actors. They’re also, of course, basically people.
This is fucked up.
