Two teenagers have been found guilty of involvement in a number of attacks that included breahes of Uber, Nvidia and Rockstar Games, the BBC reported.

The so-called Lapsus$ attacks were reported in 2021 and 2022 and the two who were found guilty on Wednesday were charged out of a group of seven teens arrested on 25 March 2022.

One of the teens was not named as he is 17. The other was identified as Arion Kurtaj and was claimed to be a key member of the group which attacked a number of well-known companies.

The pair was charged in April 2022. The court was told that Kurtaj leaked clips of Grand Theft Auto 6, an as yet unreleased game at the time, while he was out on bail.

He was deemed unfit to appear in court due to being autistic. The other teenager is also autistic. The trial, held in Southwark Crown Court in London, lasted seven weeks.

The jury was asked to decide whether Kurtaj was guilty of the acts, not whether he had any criminal intent in carrying them out.

After the arrests, the group announced it had breached Globant, an IT and software consultancy company based in Luxembourg.

Lapsus$ breached Microsoft, Samsung and identity services provider Okta, the last-named through an outsourced firm.
