A recent Grand Theft Auto 6 leak on TikTok may have come from a Rockstar Games employee's kid::Rockstar Games will release the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 on December 5. But purported leaks of the game have already circulated on TikTok.

The reason for that was because he could not have a pc or access to the internet but an amazon fire stick, is allowed since they do not expect him to use it for other purposes with the browser. Must have found a site that gave him access to a virtual machine or a VPS virtual private server to phish a rockstar games employee and from there access slack and then release footage of it on gtaforums.

Ok but what kind of hotel blocks the internet, but makes an exception for streaming sticks?

What if the hotel has fire sticks on all their TVs? The anti-theft devices will only slow down a determined thief.

Kurtaj was the only one who wasn’t allowed internet access because he was being held at the hotel awaiting trial for hacking another company. The fire stick was a way to loop hole himself out of the restrictions since police didn’t think he could use it for hacking apparently.
