After hacking well-known tech businesses worldwide — including Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung, Ubisoft, Okta, Vodafone, and Mercado — the Lapsus$ gang has made news this year. In addition, seven people from the UK were detained by the City of London Police in late March on suspicion of connection to the Lapsus$ group. On April 2nd, two of them were accused of helping the Lapsus$ extortion group. Following their appearance before the Highbury Corner Magistrates Court, they were both released on bail and freed. Additionally, UK Police detained a 17-year-old teenager last month who was thought to be responsible for the Uber hack linked to the Lapsus$ gang. Most Lapsus$ members are believed to be teenagers who are primarily motivated by their desire to become well-known in the hacking community rather than by financial motivations. The FBI is also investigating Lapsus$’s criminal activities and seeking information about the group members. They were also responsible for the hacking of computer networks belonging to US-based organizations.
