Comment on Lapsus$: GTA 6 hacker sentenced to life in hospital prison
scrion@lemmy.world 11 months agoYeah, that is about what happened. According to the BBC, he had purchased a keyboard, mouse and Fire TV stick to “connect to cloud services”:
In a “flagrant disregard for his bail conditions”, jurors were told that police found an Amazon Fire Stick in his hotel TV allowing him to connect to cloud computing services with a newly purchased smart phone, keyboard and mouse.

Naturally, almost all “news” sources cook up a headline like “hack carried out with only an Amazon Fire Stick”. Ugh.

Right, lol, so the fellow could have just connected to a free cloud VM running Kali and run some scripts, or more likely got access to Rockstar cloud services by social engineering a password out of someone. Riveting stuff, hah
