Just a week after arresting seven individuals as part of its investigation into a series of cyberattacks conducted by the Lapsus$ hacking group, U.K. authorities have charged two teenagers with multiple cyber offenses.

In a statement on Friday, Detective Inspector Michael O’Sullivan from the City of London Police said that the two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, are charged with three counts of unauthorized access to a computer with the intent to impair the reliability of data, one count of fraud by false representation, and one count of unauthorized access to a computer with intent to hinder access to data. The 16-year-old has also been charged with one count of causing a computer to perform a function to secure unauthorized access to a program.
