Police nab 17-year-old linked to group behind MGM Resorts cyberattack
Cyberscoop
A 17-year-old arrested by British police Thursday is believed to be a member of the cybercriminal gang behind last year’s ransomware attack on MGM Resorts and a number of other major companies.
The unidentified boy was released on bail as the investigation, which includes examination of a number of digital devices, continues, police said in a statement. The arrest was part of a global investigation “into a large-scale cyber hacking community,” the West Midlands Police said.
The West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit worked with the U.K.’s National Crime Agency and the FBI to make the arrest in Walsall, a town about nine miles northwest of Birmingham.
