sheesh

Its an indefinite hospital order based on himself saying he thinks he would be unable to stop himself from hacking again if they let him out. Its not a punitive sentence its a mental health issue. He was not even fit to stand trial for criminal intent so reporting it as sentenced to life is poor journalism IMO.

I wonder how R* will reference him in GTA6 lol no doubt they'll throw some sort of shade at leakers or data hackers in general.

If you use a line break instead of space, people can still copy and paste the link without altering anything.

He's not just 'GTA hacker', he is very violent and a danger to others. He will be released when his doctors think it is safe to do so.

That's why he has the indefinite hospital order, not because he hacked Rockstar.

I've never had issues copy/pasting links even with multiple spaces. Could be the browser you're using.

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.

The MacGyver of hacking, no wonder they want to keep such a close eye on him.

I think this is the third or fourth time this has been posted without full context making look like he's just in trouble for the GTAVI leak.
