A notorious cybercrime gang known as the “Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters” has announced its withdrawal from the business, but not before boasting about recent attacks and leaving a parting gift for law enforcement. The group’s statement, published on an underground forum, claims that their objectives have been met, and it’s time to say goodbye.
However, insiders believe the statement is authentic, while some members continue to celebrate their past successes on social media. The group allegedly released internal systems of US authorities with editing tools like MS Paint, hinting at a potential attack on the British National Crime Agency.
The cyber gang has made headlines in the past for high-profile attacks, including a breach of Marks & Spencer that caused severe supply bottlenecks and a suspected attack on Jaguar, resulting in production disruptions. The group’s future remains uncertain, with some members set to retire after enjoying millions raised through extortion and sabotage.
