Molotov Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Not sure we have a specific thread for cyber hacking. Please feel free to move Mods. Given the $billions invested in “computer security” it seems it’s still very easy to break into large companies. Thought this was an interesting case - given they are issuing an indefinite hospital stay on one the youngsters. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-67663128 “An 18-year-old hacker who leaked clips of a forthcoming Grand Theft Auto (GTA) game has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order. Arion Kurtaj from Oxford, who is autistic, was a key member of international gang Lapsus$. The gang's attacks on tech giants including Uber, Nvidia and Rockstar Games cost the firms nearly $10m.” A full report is here: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-08/CSRB_Lapsus%24_508c.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Quote The jury was told that while he was on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, he continued hacking and carried out his most infamous hack. Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone. Hacking is bad etc, but this is fucking impressive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press still refers to people being "hacked" when somebody just guessed that their password was password123. Most of these intrusions are remarkably low-tech and still involve employees not giving a shit about security. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
