“Its mindset was on full display for the world to see and Lapsus$ made clear just how easy it was for its members (juveniles, in some instances) to infiltrate well-defended organizations.” The group is thought to be largely teenagers, according to CISA the two members sentenced Thursday are the only two who’ve been caught. “Lapsus$ drew the attention of cybersecurity professionals and the press almost immediately after providing unparalleled transparency into the inner workings of how it targeted organizations and individuals, organized its attacks, and interacted within itself and with other threat groups,” CISA wrote in the report. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency put out a report on Lapsus$ in July 2023, analyzing the group's activity from 2021 to 2022.
