Teen Avenger: UK Police Nab Suspects in Shocking Nursery Cyberattack Scandal
The UK Metropolitan Police arrested two 17-year-olds for the doxing of children after a ransomware attack on a nursery chain. The cybercrime gang behind the attack tried to extort the nurseries. This incident adds to the growing trend of teenagers involved in high-profile cyberattacks in the UK.
Hot Take:
Teenagers these days, am I right? When they’re not busy perfecting their Fortnite dances, they’re apparently moonlighting as cybercriminals—because who needs a paper route when you can hold a nursery chain hostage for laughs and giggles? The Met Police should probably start hiring security experts straight out of high school at this rate!
Key Points:
- Two 17-year-olds arrested in connection with a ransomware attack on Kido nursery chain.
- Radiant Group claimed responsibility, leaking sensitive data of over 1,000 children.
- Data was allegedly stored on Famly’s software service, though they claim no breach.
- Attackers failed to extort Kido and removed the leaked files.
- Arrests reflect a trend of teenagers involved in high-profile UK cybercrimes.
