A 15-year-old hacker known as "Rey," whose real name is reportedly Saif, has been identified as a significant member of the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters (SLSH) group. This group is a blend of members and tactics from other cybercriminal organizations. The identification emerged after cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs traced Rey's personal information and contacted his father, an airline pilot. Rey has been active in online hacking communities and is said to be one of the three administrators of the SLSH Telegram channel. Rey's mistakes led to his identification. He posted a screenshot that inadvertently revealed his password and shared personal details in a chat, including references to his father's job. Investigations linked Rey to an email address that, along with data from a family computer, confirmed his surname and even pointed to an Irish connection. SLSH has been involved in notable cybercrimes this year, including data theft from companies like Salesforce, Toyota, and FedEx. Rey has also claimed to run a ransomware service called ShinySp1d3r. In response to Krebs' findings, SLSH vehemently dismissed the report as a misguided attempt to tarnish their reputation. The group criticized the journalist for claiming that one person could operate under different aliases and accused him of manipulating Rey’s statements. They challenged Krebs to prove their claims and offered a reward in Bitcoin for revealing Rey's real identity. Alon Gal from Hudson Rock, a cybersecurity firm, noted that Rey had been flagged as a suspect in previous cyber incidents, further complicating the narrative around his activities.
