Teenage Cyber-Disruption: UK Teens Swap Acne for Hacking and Land in Hot Water

Teenage rebellion takes on a new meaning as two UK teens embark on a Lapsus$ hacking spree, landing one in a hospital and the other in rehab. These young cyber villains prove that pimples and heartbreak aren’t the only teenage troubles, especially when you’re giving Uber and Nvidia a run for their money.

Hot Take:

Who said being a teenager is all about acne, first loves, and bad decisions? Well, it still is, but for two British teens, those bad decisions involved a cyber-crime spree that put big names like Uber, Nvidia, and Revolut in a frenzy. One teen is off to an indefinite stay at a UK hospital, and the other is off the hook but under a youth rehabilitation order. I guess this isn't what they meant by 'finding your passion young'.
