The boy hacked Rockstar using a TV, a fire stick and a phone! I think he deserves a medal, a scholarship and a high payed job as a security consultant, not punishment. Instead they destroy his life for ... being too smart and too talented?! Fuck capitalism!

Sounds like he had serious issues in life and wouldn't likely be able to hold a job or complete a scholarship. Not to mention he's ruined any form of trust you would need to be a security consultant.
A mental health assessment used as part of the sentencing hearing said he "continued to express the intent to return to cyber-crime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated."
The jury was told that while he was on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, he continued hacking
This doesn't sound like a kid that accidentally found some loopholes in a website and got lost down a rabbit hole. Instead it sounds like he deliberately knew what he was doing was wrong but didn't give a shit and was quite happy to blackmail users why threatening to reveal their personal data he had stolen.
Let's hope they can reform him over time, poor kid.

I guess the article title has been changed, now it says "indefinite hospital order" which, as far as I understand, means reevaluation every 6 months until he's deemed "safe" to society.
Unless I’m missing something this seems like a huge fucking overreaction and maybe get this guy some behavioral therapy or whatever. He’s incredibly talented and it would be a damn shame to waste that in a hospital. I’m guessing he’ll get a chance to be released, but some rehabilitation would go a long way and I don’t think his life should waste away in a hospital prison
He committed the ultimate crime, though: stealing from rich people. And he even had the effrontery not to be rich himself while doing it.
That's what they're punishing here.

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.
This sounds all impressive, and MacGyver level. But I need more info. Did he just cast his phone screen to the TV so he could see better while he used ssh or ftp in to a poorly secured port at Rockstar or did he do some crazy shit.
