PC Gamer · 2 hours ago

A hacker linked to the 2023 Grand Theft Auto 6 leak, who was given an indefinite hospital order because he continued hacking even after his arrest, has reportedly been discharged from hospital and is now awaiting a retrial. The case drew widespread attention as one of the most significant security breaches in gaming history, after internal Rockstar Games footage and source code were leaked online.

The individual was originally deemed unfit to stand trial and was detained indefinitely in a secure hospital setting in 2023 after continuing to carry out hacking activity despite being in custody. Limited further detail on the retrial's timing or specific charges was available in the source material, though the development marks a new stage in the long-running legal proceedings surrounding the breach.
