The teenager who was arrested by London police for that gargantuan GTA 6 leak from last year has been deemed psychiatrically unfit to stand trial.

Per Reuters, 18-year-old Arion Kurtaj, a member of the Lapsus$ hacking group, has been accused by prosecutors of hacking GTA developer Rockstar Games and then threatening to leak the GTA 6 source code. However, Reuters reports that Kurtaj has been assessed by psychiatrists who have deemed him unfit to stand trial for himself. For that reason, the jury will determine whether he truly committed what's being alleged in lieu of delivering a guilty or not guilty verdict.

He is also being accused of hacking Uber and fintech firm Revolut, blackmailing Britain's biggest broadband provider BT Group and mobile operator EE between July and November 2021, and hacking chip maker Nvidia Corp in February 2022 alongside a 17-year-old who can't be named due to his age. The pair's alleged modus operandi is apparently hacking companies and then demanding ransom as payment for not publishing data and/or sensitive materials.
