    British teen from the Lapsus$ gang hacks GTA 6 details in a small town hotel room using an Amazon Fire Stick. Despite compromising British telcos, he’s exposed, caught by authorities, and leaks GTA 6 footage after using the Fire Stick to access cloud services and breach organizations. The tale highlights untapped talent and lack of support in his education system.

        I’m not sure what you’re getting at. He broke the law, the government investigates and enforces the law.

        What do you expect to happen? Should the government not investigate crimes against corporations? Should corporations be required to pay for the government investigation into a crime perpetrated against them?

        Seems like pretty quickly the governments would only be incentivized to investigate financial crimes against corporations.

        Seems like a worse pay-to-play scheme than the alleged thing you’re mad about.
