Teen Hacker Sentenced to Indefinite Hospital Detention for GTA Cyberattacks

Two British teenagers, members of the Lapsus$ gang, have been sentenced for their involvement in a cyber-crime spree that targeted companies such as Uber, Nvidia, and Rockstar Games. One of the teens, Arion Kurtaj, who has autism, was sentenced to indefinite detention in a hospital due to being assessed as unfit to stand trial. The other teen, a 17-year-old, received a youth rehabilitation order. The gang used various tactics, including social engineering and SIM swapping, to gain unauthorized access to systems and extort companies. The case highlights the dangers young people can face online and the serious consequences of engaging in cybercrime.
