According to reports, a kid is the brains behind the Lapsus$ hacking gang

Bloomberg reports that the adolescent is stationed around five miles outside of Oxford University and that it was able to communicate with his mother for 10 minutes via a “doorbell intercom system” at his home. According to the magazine, the teenager’s mother was unaware of the claims against him. “She refused to discuss her son or make him accessible for an interview, stating that the incident was a matter for law enforcement and that she had contacted the police,” Bloomberg said.
