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.

Yeah, a phone is literally a portable computer. It's like saying he made a bomb using nothing but a hairclip, a rubber band, and a grenade.

To most people though it's still the equivalent because they don't know any better.
