Whatever you were doing at 16 years old, it probably didn’t involve masterminding a string of data breaches against some of the world’s most well-known electronics manufacturers. A Bloomberg report outlined that four cybersecurity researchers have tied a series of attacks from the hacker group Lapsus$ to several teenagers, one of whom is a 16 years old and living under his mother’s roof in Oxford, England.
The attacks in question have become public fodder after Lapsus$ leaked source code(s) for some of Microsoft’s services like Bing, Cortana, and a range of internal projects. In late January, the group also targeted San Francisco-based identity management company, Okta, posting alleged screenshots of the company’s internal systems.
