    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”.

        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.

    If you’re not aware, the hack was performed by Arion Kurtaj, an 18 year old, who has been put in prison a psych ward in a uk prison. He hacked rockstar at a hotel, where he was left with no computers or phones, only to find that the TV had a chromecast, which he used to buy a phone and a keyboard (presumably by selling his monero).

    • He hacked into all major uk telcom providers: EE, BT and Orange.
    • He hacked into nvidia

    This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.

    Don’t get me wrong, he deserves a long and drawn out lesson on morals, but also a stellar salary where he can do what he’s doing for the right side.

    EDIT: I have made a mistake in my original comment, which has been pointed out. My bad, he’s technically in a psych ward in a uk prison, because he’s aggressive and unstable. I still stand by what I said (and what I clarified in the comments below), but I wanted to correct the record

      As far as I recall he actively seeks to commit cybercrimes and even says so himself.

      It’s not the first young hacker on the spectrum that has urges to hack stuff.

      It’s a whole different question when someone is conscious he is doing something illegal and actively seeks to do it.

      This is not another Aaron Swartz story imo. It’s an autistic individual that doesn’t hack out of curiosity but in order to damage businesses, and people or benefit himself.

      Unfortunate that society punishes those that can do things that a lot of people don’t understand

      I want to bet this dude is a giant asshole. Not sure why people keep making a hero out of him, he sounds like an awful person.

        Maybe, I’ve never met him, but that changes nothing.

        Linus Torvalds is a giant asshole and he doesn’t know how to talk to people, he’s still one of the most important people in tech.

      You have to convince him first it is what he wants to do. He seems very fixated on being a cyber criminal at this time and money is unlikely to sway him.

        He can learn once he understands the repercussions of his actions. Remember that he’s an autistic teenager, he has a lot to learn about life and especially morality.
