The kid who leaked GTA VI could spend life in the hospital
Remember when the internet was turned on its ear by the massive GTA VI leak? Well, this has been an ongoing story, even though it’s been on the back burner for a while. Well, the story continues, as a young leaker involved with the GTA VI leak could spend the rest of his life in a hospital.
To recap, Rockstar Games, the company developing GTA VI, went through a storm of drama last year when 90 clips of the unreleased game were leaked online. Other important information was leaked like the source code for the game. The hacker group, named Lapsus$, demanded a ransom from the company, but it was unpaid.
Soon after, two individuals were arrested, and both of them are under the age of 19. One member is 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj, and the other was identified to be a 17-year-old male. His name was not released because he’s an under-aged minor. Both were arrested for this hack and for hacking other larger companies like Microsoft, Nvidia, and Uber.

Kurtaj was under the spotlight soon after this news broke. While that’s true, the GTA hack wasn’t his first run-in with the law. He was arrested and released on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE. You’d think that he’d learned his lesson. However, in a hotel, using an Amazon Fire Stick, the hotel’s TV, and his phone, he carried out his attack on Rockstar. This led to another arrest.
After a mental health assessment, it was discovered that Kurtaj suffers from acute autism. The doctors deemed him unable to stand trial because of this. This, undoubtedly, led the trial in a different direction. Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that Kurtaj was revealed to be violent in nature.
As part of the mental assessment, examiners found that he “continued to express the intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated.” This is after being arrested multiple times, so the jury made a pretty heavy decision.
Kurtaj will remain in a hospital indefinitely. It’s essentially a life sentence, but it’s not written in stone. If he’s deemed no longer a danger. We’re going to have to see how this sentence is carried out.
In any case, the trailer for GTA VI recently hit the internet, and people are raving about it. It’s slated to come out in 2025.
