Jul 19, 2024, 06:45 PM
A 17-year-old boy from Walsall, UK, has been arrested in connection with a global cybercrime group responsible for ransomware attacks on major companies, including MGM Resorts. The arrest was made through a joint operation involving the FBI, UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), West Midlands Police, and the Regional Organised Crime Unit for the West Midlands (ROCUWM). The suspect is accused of hacking and blackmail offenses related to a 2023 ransomware attack that significantly impacted MGM Resorts, costing the company over $100 million. The coordinated efforts of international law enforcement agencies, including the FBI office in Las Vegas, highlight the serious nature of cybercrime and the ongoing efforts to combat it.
