18 years old, already on bail for hacking Nvidia, under police protection at a hotel with his laptop confiscated, then hacked Rockstars slack with a firestick and TV! Epic.

Only problem is these lapsus$ kids were Giant, GIANT fucking assholes - taunting people in slack, fucking with employees, deleting shit just for laughs, etc - they were trolls with real maliciousness. The kind of shit 4chan would be really proud of. I'm not saying lock the guy up for life though, but they were all absolutely horrible and the damage they did was really stupid (for example they would ransomware someone's data, then not decrypt it after the ransom was paid - even other criminal cyber gangs didn't like them lol). They are probably the worst lulz group in recent memory

Still kids who shouldn't have any power against an imperium like nvidia. Instead of admitting theis security flaws, smash a kid like a fly.

2 things - security is very hard, and these companies are not the prison keepers. The kid himself must really be pissing everyone off around him and digging his own hole. Plenty of examples of cyber criminals in the prison system, but the biggest asshole seems to somehow have gotten himself locked up indefinitely

I know how hard security is, but if a kid without a PC can hack you, you are definitely doing something wrong.

Imagine if a kid could hack military systems. The war in Ukraine would end instantly.

Good thing all the meaty nuclear stuff is airgapped and runs on floppies 🤣
