Unfortunately there is a small but vociferous group of pea brains who love the fact that the American justice system locks its own citizens up at rates which dramatically outpace any other industrialized nation on this earth. You can take these for what they’re worth which is not very much. (One last thing… You will be inundated with responses from a certain type of no account INCEL who will take great pleasure in the fact that the US ‘injustice’ system thoroughly, relentlessly, and unyieldingly grinds it’s victims into the ground. Have a peek at Glenn Greenwald’s “With Liberty and Justice For Some” if you’re interested in finding out just what those exceptions are. There are of course exceptions for this rule. So if you get it into your head to snort a couple of lines of coke or to shoplift the latest Samsung QLED, I strongly suggest that you consider moving to Canada, Norway, or Japan before doing so. In fact the situation on the ground is quite the opposite the US system will grind you into the ground again, again, and again if you FU. It is not a system which believes that people who make mistakes can change and can learn from those mistakes. The United States of America is _not_ a country which in any way, shape, or form embraces the concept of the second chance. Maybe one day if he is genuinely remorseful (not living off his old hacks) he may deserve forgiveness. The guys a little scrote and he deserves everything he gets. Does anyone consider the wider implications of this? Potential redundancies? Children living in poverty because the parents can no longer pay the bills? Once again the criminal is the victim and the victim the bad guy for being successful. People working at Rockstar put their lives into developing these games to provide for their families and them some little scrote comes along and ruins the work. I see posts claiming he’s a Robin Hood lmao. The sad thing is even if he claims to learn his lesson as did the TalkTalk kid, he will still try to live off the notoriety for years to come, as does the TalkTalk kid. Oh if he had this, if he had that! Has anyone implied that he didn’t have support around him with people trying to guide him? Unfortunately the Internet is a child/teens primary influence and we all know how bad that place is. You know I find it irritating that all I here is basically that the teen is the victim. Posted in News, Security Hacks Tagged Amazon Fire, bicester, Fire stick Post navigation Let’s hope when he’s older and wiser the teenage conviction won’t prevent him from having a useful career in the field. The moment of excitement in one’s hometown and the sensationalist reporting aside, we can’t help feeling sad that a teen with that level of talent evidently wasn’t given the support and encouragement by Oxfordshire’s education system necessary to put it to better use. He’s yet to be sentenced, but we’re guessing that he’ll continue to spend some time at His Majesty’s pleasure. Using this he was able to access cloud services, we’re guessing a virtual Linux environment or similar, before continuing to compromise further organisations including Rockstar Games to leak that GTA 6 footage. Here the story becomes more interesting for Hackaday readers, because though denied access to a computer he purchased an Amazon Fire stick presumably at the Argos in the Sainsburys next door, and plugged it into the Travelodge TV. After compromising British telcos he was exposed by another group and nabbed by the authorities, before being moved to the hotel for his own safety. The teen in question is one, breathlessly reported by the BBC as part of the Lapsus$ gang, which is a sensationalist way of talking up a group of kids expert at computer infiltration but seemingly inept at being criminals. Bicester is a small town best known for a tacky outlet mall and as a commuter dormitory stop on the line to London Marylebone, it’s not exactly Vice City. These things aren’t supposed to happen in a cheap hotel room in your insignificant hometown, but the story of a British teen being nabbed leaking the closely guarded details of Grand Theft Auto 6 in a Travelodge room in Bicester, Oxfordshire brings the action from the global into the local for a Hackaday scribe. Hollywood casting will wheel out a character in a black hoodie and shades, probably carrying a metallic briefcase as they board an executive jet. International cybercrime, as portrayed by the movies and mass media, is a high-stakes game of shadowy government agencies and state-sponsored hacking groups.
