The kids aren’t alright: How DOJ is reckoning with malicious teenage hackers

In today's Washington Post:

Quote:Teenage hackers like those who may have been behind recent cyberattacks on casinos are being “radicalized” online in a way similar to people who once turned to terrorism and they benefit from a digital economy that enables them to get into the field quickly and easily, a top Justice Department official said Tuesday.

“What we’re seeing is a phenomenon where quite literally juveniles and others here and abroad, have kind of limitless access to an online for-profit criminal ecosystem,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said at a Washington Post Live event.

Monaco wasn’t commenting specifically on the presumed culprits in the MGM Grand (and maybe Caesar’s) casino attacks. And she said we’ve seen juvenile hackers before, like with the Lapsus$ gang. But it is an overall issue the Justice Department is paying attention to and looking to counter, she said.

“This juvenile hacking phenomenon is not unlike what we saw in the terrorism landscape, individuals radicalized online,” she said. “And how do we as a federal government, as a federal national security enterprise address that? How do we help our state and local partners address that?”

There's a way to familiarize the public into thinking of teen hackers as terrorists so they can start using the nearly limitless laws directed at terrorists created after 2001 that allow them to break any law in order to achieve their goal.

The real problem is the public's lack of technology knowledge and companies putting all access in the hands of minimum wage tech support workers being cheap where a couple of teenagers can trick them into handing over a admin account while the company has the security of a small business for a /16 with 65,000 hosts. The US officials aren't smart enough to see those 'teenagers' are trying to show them the companies weak points not terrorize them. Teach the public that's how you help Oh but that's right you won't get fines and money from that so no interest there.

Also it's just now starting to happen but if companies would hire these 'talented teens' instead of focusing only on computer science majors then they wouldn't be joining the other side because companies didn't even consider them.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the approach of the Department of Justice (DOJ) or any other law enforcement agency toward malicious teenage hackers may vary based on the specific circumstances of each case. Generally, the DOJ and other law enforcement bodies aim to address cybercrime, regardless of the age of the perpetrator. However, they may consider age, intent, and the severity of the actions when determining how to handle cases involving teenage hackers.
