GTA 6 Leaker Hacked Rockstar with Just an Amazon Fire Stick in a Hotel Room

Does anyone have technical details on the hack?

Seems like the fire stick was just a way to use the hotel Tv as a screen as far as I understand.

If I had to guess: side load F-Droid onto the Fire Stick and install Termux from there.

Then you could SSH into a cloud computing environment and work off that.

No need for cloud computing. My first CS semester was done with Termux, a cheap android tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard.

Any number of cloud services will give you a terminal on a web page to access your VM. You don't need to touch the hardware if you have a web browser.

Termux has an entire package repository, community, and package maintainers. I'm a maintainer.

It's basically a distribution of Linux userspace so natively tools are available, along with compilers and the like.

Very useful, and will probably keep me on Android forever.

The attacks were lower tech than that. Just social engineering/phishing/sim-swapping. Things that could be done from any device without even a terminal.

Not much substance is there?
