Lapsus$

Also known as Strawberry Tempest, a globally organized cyber-extortion gang composed largely of teenage actors. Known for chaotic, high-profile breaches of major technology, telecom, and gaming companies. Focuses on disruption and publicity rather than traditional ransomware.

Key behaviours to watch:

  • SIM swapping, MFA fatigue, and bribery of insiders for initial access.

  • Theft and leak of source code, internal tools, and sensitive customer data.

  • Minimal operational security; fast and noisy intrusions with real-time Telegram updates.
