When morons go on a hacking rampage

[Retro]

Amazing combination of the wrong set of skills (hacking) and severe autism have put this criminally minded moron in a mental institution for life. He's quite violent to boot. The world is safer now with him out of the way.

Big shame for him, as skills like that used legitimately can earn one big money, really big money with tech companies. What a way to waste all that opportunity lol.

An 18-year-old hacker who leaked clips of a forthcoming Grand Theft Auto (GTA) game has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order.

Arion Kurtaj from Oxford, who is autistic, was a key member of international gang Lapsus$.

The gang's attacks on tech giants including Uber, Nvidia and Rockstar Games cost the firms nearly $10m.

The judge said Kurtaj's skills and desire to commit cyber-crime meant he remained a high risk to the public.

He will remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger.

The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

I suppose he can't have access to a computer while institutionalized? Too bad, the world could use more great ethical hackers.
