Teen Hackers Convicted in UK Court for High-Profile Tech Firm and Gaming Industry Hacks

Two U.K. teenagers, including Arion Kurtaj, have been convicted for their involvement in the LAPSUS$ hacking gang, responsible for high-profile hacks against major tech firms. The hackers conducted SIM swapping and prompt bombing attacks to gain unauthorized access to corporate networks, targeting companies like Uber, Revolut, and Rockstar Games. They demanded ransom in exchange for not leaking the stolen information and solicited rogue insiders for credentials. The group infiltrated organizations such as BT, EE, Microsoft, and Samsung. The teenagers are awaiting sentencing.
