Jesus, man. He hacked Rockstar with a fire stick and a phone, lol. Put this kid to work hacking enemy governments. Why waste that talent?
According to the article he was also found to be extremely violent while in custody, with several reports and issues. A lot of that is likely related to his Autism and should be noted. I also absolutely expect the reports are at least partially exaggerated in their wording.
That said: I do agree. Get the kid some therapy and coping skills and give him a nicely colored hat to choose from.
Sounds like they have Rick Sanchez is custody over there
Court mandated therapy would do wonders
If they are going to go that way, no one will ever know.
How could this 18 year old have hacked your government website while locked up in a hospital? Are you admitting your cyber security is that bad?
conversation ends
A lot of state sponsored hackers have at least the same skills with better behavior. Also, he's too high profile now. If the govt needs to off an asset it'll be news if he's suddenly disappeared.
He’s likely not decrypting some impressive backend code but acquired a list of employee login credentials from some Rockstar IT employee off the dark web. Combine that list with an autist memory and you have a very dangerous person that needs to be separated from the rest of us for a very, very long time.
What a garbage conclusion lol. I hope you don't work on anything important.
