In recent weeks, the Lapsus$ hacking group has taken credit for accessing company data from Nvidia<\/a>, Samsung<\/a>, Ubisoft<\/a>, Okta<\/a>, and even Microsoft<\/a>, and according to a new Bloomberg<\/em> report<\/a>, an England-based teenager might be the person heading up the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour researchers investigating the hacking group Lapsus$, on behalf of companies that were attacked, said they believe the teenager is the mastermind,\u201d Bloomberg<\/em> said. However, the teenager, who apparently uses the online aliases \u201cWhite\u201d and \u201cbreachbase,\u201d has not been accused by law enforcement, and the researchers \u201chaven\u2019t been able to conclusively tie him to every hack Lapsus$ has claimed,\u201d Bloomberg<\/em> said. <\/p>\n

The teenager is apparently based about five miles outside of Oxford University, and Bloomberg<\/em> says it was able to speak to his mother for ten minutes through a \u201cdoorbell intercom system\u201d at the home. The teenager\u2019s mother told the publication she did not know of allegations against him. \u201cShe declined to discuss her son in any way or make him available for an interview, and said the issue was a matter for law enforcement and that she was contacting the police,\u201d Bloomberg<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

Lapsus$ apparently doesn\u2019t just consist of the England-based teenager, though. Bloomberg<\/em> reports that one suspected member is another teenager in Brazil and that seven unique accounts have been linked with the group. One of the members is apparently such a capable hacker that researchers thought the work was automated, one person involved in research about the group told Bloomberg<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs<\/a>, a core member of Lapsus$, who may have used the aliases \u201cOklaqq\u201d and \u201cWhiteDoxbin,\u201d also purchased Doxbin, a website where people can post or search for the personal information of others for the purposes of doxing<\/a>. This WhiteDoxbin individual apparently wasn\u2019t the best admin and had to sell the site back to its previous owner, but leaked \u201cthe entire Doxbin data set,\u201d which led to the Doxbin community doxing WhiteDoxbin<\/em>, \u201cincluding videos supposedly shot at night outside his home in the United Kingdom,\u201d Krebs reported.<\/p>\n

Krebs also reports that this person may have been behind the EA data breach<\/a> that took place last year. What may connect the person between Bloomberg<\/em> and Krebs\u2019 is the name \u201cbreachbase.\u201d <\/p>\n

From Krebs:<\/p>\n

\n

Back in May 2021, WhiteDoxbin\u2019s Telegram ID was used to create an account on a Telegram-based service for launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, where they introduced themself as \u201c@breachbase<\/strong>.\u201d News of EA\u2019s hack last year was first posted to the cybercriminal underground by the user \u201cBreachbase\u201d on the English-language hacker community RaidForums<\/strong>, which was recently seized by the FBI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The full picture surrounding Lapsus$ is still murky, but I strongly urge you to read both Bloomberg<\/em><\/a> and Krebs\u2019<\/a> reports to learn more about what may be going on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
