For anyone who skips the article and comes straight to the comments, this is not because of the hacking. This is because of (alleged) violence and expressed eagerness to return to cybercrime.
> The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.
> A mental health assessment used as part of the sentencing hearing said he "continued to express the intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated."
...
The details are absolutely wild too. I mean...
> The jury was told that while he was on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, he continued hacking and carried out his most infamous hack. 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.
Holy shit, dude. This is the sort of thing they make movies about. I wonder how much of it is true.
