Two UK Teenagers Charged With Hacking for Notorious Gang Lapsus$
Two teenagers from the UK have been charged by police over hacking for a notorious cyber-crime gang. From a report: A 16 and 17-year-old will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Friday. The boys have been charged with multiple cyber-offences and remain in police custody. The teens were arrested as part of an international police investigation into the Lapsus$ gang, which is relatively new but much talked-about. The cyber-crime group successfully breached major firms like Microsoft, and then bragged about it online. Last week, the FBI launched an appeal for information about the people behind the hacking crew. According to Det Insp Michael O'Sullivan, from the City of London Police, both teenagers have been charged with three counts of unauthorised access to a computer with intent to impair the reliability of data, one count of fraud by false representation, and one count of unauthorised access to a computer with intent to hinder access to data.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
