The world’s youngest hacker is the 16-year-old Briton Arion Courtage, known as the leader of the Lapsus$ hacker group. About it in an interview “Newspaper.Ru” said Kaspersky Lab chief expert Sergey Golovanov.
“There was a story in the world recently about the group Lapsus$, led by Arion Courtage, a 16-year-old teenager from Oxford. This man, now 18, is on trial in London. He has a 17-year-old accomplice with him.”
According to the expert, underage hackers are also known in Russia, but their illegal actions are still much less common.
“I remember only a few outstanding schoolchildren in Russia correcting their electronic diaries,” said Golovanova.
According to the expert, hacker girls also appeared. Women programmers oppose them.
“Girl programmers can be seen at conferences. Some are in platform boots and black hoodies, while others are in suits and high heels. There are also a lot of boys with long hair, beards, glasses, thick backpacks and laptops,” the Kaspersky Lab expert concluded.
