Two teenage members of the chaotic Lapsus$ cyber-crime gang helped compromise computer systems of Uber and Nvidia, and also blackmailed Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games among other high-profile victims, a jury has decided.<\/p>\n

At Southwark Crown Court in London, England, on Wednesday, Arion Kurtaj, 18, and a 17-year-old male who because of his age cannot be identified for legal reasons were found to have committed various crimes. Kurtaj was held in custody while the other was released on bail; both await sentencing.<\/p>\n

This was an unusual case in that the jury was told not to find Kurtaj, who is autistic, guilty or not guilty as psychiatrists had earlier assessed that he was unfit to stand trial. Instead, the panel was asked to decided whether or not he did the things he was accused of.<\/p>\n
