This chapter for Lapsus$ has come to a close. Thanks @joetidy for citing the Cyber Safety Review Board's report. Shining a light on the need for helping teenage hackers take the right paths always felt very important. H/T @DHS_Policy @k8em0 @DAlperovitch @NSA_CSDirector et al.

I'm at Guildford Crown Court for the long-delayed sentencing of two teen hackers from the Lapsus$ gang. Arion Kurtaj hacked Rockstar Games in 2022 leaking 90 clips of unfinished GTA6 gameplay. He and his accomplices also hacked Nvidia, EE, and Revolut in their hacking spree.
