Arion Kurtaj, a british teenager, became known in 2023 for his major involvement in some of the most significant cyberattacks in recent years. He was 17 at the time. He was in a hacking group called Lapsus$.

He was mainly involved in hacking:

• Nvidia, by stealing confidential information and selling it back after the threat of leaking information
• He also hacked Uber, by breaching their internal systems and leaking private information
• He also leaked some information from Rockstar Games, leaking GTA 6.
• He then became an ethical hacker, which is something we teach about at Cybersafeschools academy.
