This 18yo made $13 MILLION leading the biggest hacker group of 2022


Arion Kurtaj was a kid from Oxford who ran Lapsus$, the biggest hacker group of 2022
From his mom's house, he hacked Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung, Uber, Okta, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Ubisoft and Revolut in 6 months, accumulating 300 Bitcoin worth $13 million at the time
His method was to call the company's IT help desk pretending to be an employee locked out of his account, or spam staff phones with login approval requests at night until someone tired clicked yes and gave him full access
After hacking Uber he posted nsfw content on their internal company chat with a message to employees saying "fuck you wankers"
After hacking Revolut, he sent customers inappropriate messages through their support app
UK police arrested him in January 2022 after rival hackers doxxed him online
He was put on bail in a Travelodge hotel with no internet access
From that hotel room, he used an Amazon Fire TV Stick, the hotel TV, a mouse and his phone to hack Rockstar Games and leak 90 clips of the unreleased GTA 6
He posted the clips under the username TeaPotUberHacker and demanded $4 million from Rockstar to stop
Cops arrested him in the same hotel room days later
The judge said he showed no remorse and wanted to do it again, giving him an indefinite sentence at a secure hospital until doctors decide he's no longer a threat
He ended up gambling away most of his 300 Bitcoin and the rest of it was lost because he got hacked
