A hacker usually has a tonne of cutting-edge technology in front of them while they sit at a massive desk in movies.
It turns out that all you really need to leak and steal footage from a GTA VI like unreleased game in real life is an Amazon Fire TV stick, a smartphone, a keyboard, and a mouse.
According to BBC News, it is precisely what Lapsus$ hacker Arion Kurtaj did while out on bail for allegedly hacking NVIDIA.

The 18-year-old broke into Rockstar Games, the firm that made GTA VI, even going so far as to identify himself as an “attacker” on the Slack channel of the business. Where did the crime occur? He was put in a UK Travelodge hotel by officials.

Kurtaj was relocated to the hotel after being “doxxed” by hackers, who published extensive information about him and his family online and put his safety at risk. He was prohibited from using the internet while he was there, so he utilized the Fire TV Stick to get around it.

Convicted Guilty

Kurtaj was convicted guilty of hacking Rockstar, Neobank Revolut, and Uber after a seven-week trial, and additional information about his unlawful stunt was made public. In contrast, Kurtaj, a 17-year-old who was also found guilty is still on bond. Due to their autism, the two defendants were declared ineligible to stand trial by psychiatrists. This meant that instead of deciding whether the acts were committed with criminal intent, the jury just considered whether they felt that they had been committed.

Kurtaj and the anonymous 17-year-old are two of seven Lapsus$ members who have been detained in the UK. Lapsus$, referred to in court as a group of “digital bandits,” is thought to be mostly made up of youths from Brazil and the UK. Lapsus$ is also said to have hacked Microsoft, Samsung, and T-Mobile between 2021 and 2022. Although the gang demanded ransoms, it’s not apparent how much money, if any, it made from these exploits.
