Seven teenagers arrested in connection with the Lapsus$ hacking group

City of London Police have arrested seven teenagers due to their suspected connections with a hacking group that is believed to be the recently prolific Lapsus$ group, BBC News reports.

“The City of London Police has been conducting an investigation with its partners into members of a hacking group,” Detective Inspector Michael O’Sullivan of the City of London Police said in a statement to The Verge. “Seven people between the ages of 16 and 21 have been arrested in connection with this investigation and have all been released under investigation. Our enquiries remain ongoing.”

Lapsus$ has taken responsibility for some major security breaches at tech companies, including Nvidia, Samsung, Ubisoft, Okta, and Microsoft. On Wednesday, reports surfaced indicating an Oxford-based teenager is the mastermind of the group. City of London Police did not say if this teenager was among those arrested. At least one member of Lapsus$ was also apparently involved with a data breach at EA, cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs reported on Wednesday in an extensive article about the group. Vice corroborated the group’s involvement in that breach in its own article on Thursday, noting that it was “emblematic of Lapsus$’s subsequent and massive hacks.”
