A 15-year-old hacker known as Rey has been linked to the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters group. His identity was revealed through an investigation that traced personal details and social media interactions, despite Rey's claims of wanting to leave the group and working with law enforcement.

The Scattered Spider ransomware group has decided to cease operations due to intense law enforcement pressure following significant cyberattacks on companies like Jaguar Land Rover and Salesforce. In a farewell message, they apologize to their victims and hint at a possible return with a new venture called "ShinySp1d3r RaaS."
