City of London Police arrested seven people in connection with an investigation into a hacking group called Lapsus$, which has said it’s responsible for a rash of recent cyberattacks against companies including Microsoft Corp. and Nvidia Corp., according to a person involved in the investigation.
The suspects, ages 16 to 21, have been released while the investigation continues, Detective Inspector Michael O’Sullivan said in a statement. “Our inquiries remain ongoing,” he said. Police didn’t identify the hacking gang, but the arrests were related to a broad investigation into the Lapsus$ hacks, according to the person.
