Cybersecurity researchers investigating the ultra-prolific LAPSUS$ group have traced the attacks to a 16 year old living at his mother’s house near Oxford, England.
In a shocking turn of events, the four researchers investigating the attacks have said they believe the teenager is the mastermind behind the operation.
LAPSUS$ has gained significant notoriety in the past month as they have hacked several organisations, including tech giants Samsung, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Okta.
The 16 year old has not been named both because he is a minor, and he is yet to be officially accused of wrongdoing by law enforcement.
We do know, however, that he goes by the alias “White” and “breachbase” online.
