It's weird to me that, in this specific community, people is condemning this kid as a cyber criminal and as someone playing for the "wrong side".

Just corpo simps being corpo simps from what I can tell.

I don't see anyone simping for corporations, just not rushing to celebrate or defend someone so obviously unhinged.

Also, the point is not to get caught, and he's extremely brazen about it even when directly under police watch.

There are plenty of other black hats out there that don't act like this. No one is shaking a finger at them. By all means, crack these corporations wide open.

But this guy in particular is not worth raising up.

Can you elaborate more? What are "corporate simps" saying about Kurtaj exactly? If he's mentally unwell, shouldn't people be supporting efforts for his recovery?

shouldn't people be supporting efforts for his recovery?

Are they not?

Being sent to a prison hospital, which isn't great but it's better than the alternative isn't it? Some people keep saying that maybe he should be given a job with the CIA or something, and maybe he would have been, but given the fact that he doesn't seem stable enough to take an olive branch when it's offered I don't really think there's much future for him.

I admit I hadn't read anything about the situation before that post - I only knew that GTA VI leaks occurred and wanted to know what the GTA community was saying. I read more after posting and people say Kurtaj is autistic, and I didn't mean to imply that autism is something that requires "recovery." It's just the way people describe Kurtaj... like he's some kind of mad super villain. He's violent, well-spoken, extremely talented, irreverently defiant, obsessed with digital extortion, and reckless to his own detriment. Either Kurtaj is a highly singular personality or there's something fishy going on here.

Did you respond to the wrong comment by any chance?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago

Read the whole comment chain, it makes sense.

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 69 points 11 months ago

No one is condemning him for hacking Rockstar. They're defending the decisions to put him a hospital because he's unstable. It doesn't help anyone having this kind of black hat shit being so public, sloppy, and visibly unhinged.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 11 months ago

Yeah, didn't he also attack user data from BT/EE? And apparently stalked women or something. As funny and impressive as this specific incident is, it was a final straw
